Question

SHORT RESPONSE Camille made 16 out of 19 of her serves during her first volleyball game. She made 13 out of 16 of her serves during her second game. During which game did she make a greater percent of her serves?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Camille made a greater percent at the first game.

Step 1. Given.

In the first game, Camille made 16 out of 19.

In the second game, she made 13 out of her 16 serves.

Step 2. To determine.

Camille’s better performance.

Step 3. Calculation.

We calculate the percentage of serves in the first game.

$\frac{16}{19}\times 100=84.21\%$

 

Then calculating the percentage of serves in the second game, we get

$\frac{13}{16}\times 100=81.25\%$

 

From the above, the percentage in the first game is greater than the percentage in the second game.

Hence, Camille did better at the first game.
