What's the formula to this?

150 x .873 = 130.95

.873 is the same as 83.7 percent. That’s pretty close to perfect, which would be 100 percent or 1.000

If you round things off, .8 = 8/10 = 4/5. .8×150 = 120. .9 =9/10/ .9×150 = 135.

Thanks so much! Now I feel like an idiot lol, I never took that into consideration. No wonder I couldn’t figure it out, thanks so much :)

You won 131 games out of 150 131/150 = .873333 They just rounded it to 3 decimals.
150 times the win percentage = number of games won
150 x .873 = 130.95 ~ 131

(.873 = 8.73 percent.)

Umm… @gailcalled 1 is 100% so 0.873 is 87.3% in my math class. You were right the first time.

Now if the OP meant 0.873 % not .873 then that means they won 150×0.873/100 = 1.31 games. Not likely I’m sticking with 87.3 %

@worriedguy I think that most people transpose characters wehn they get typing too fsat.

@worriedguy @jerv: Or simply getting confused. I thought that I had checked the math (in my head). Head is not working as well as it did in my youth.

I should keep it simple. 90% (.90) of 100 is 90. (It is, isn’t it?)

Does it count that I got the right answer?
