Anyway:
I. Assign Values:
Pick simple numbers
Let the # of 1st year games = 10
Let the # of 2nd year games = 30 (= "thrice" 10)
# of games won, 1st year:
40% = (.4 * 10) = 4
# of games won, 2nd yr:
60% = (.6 * 30) = 18
Total games won: (18+4) = 22
Total games played: (10+30) = 40
Overall percent won?
\((\frac{GamesWon}{Total Games}*100)=(\frac{22}{40}*100)=\)
\(.55*100=55\) %
Answer D
II. Weighted average
"Weight" the win percents from the ratio of number of games, which is 1 : 3
40% = .40 weighs 1
60% = .60 weighs 3
Total weight= (1 + 3) = 4
(You can use variables for weights but they're not necessary. x and 3x would get canceled out in the division by the total of the ratio parts, 4x)
\(\frac{.40(1) + .60(3)}{4}=\frac{.4+1.8}{4}=\frac{2.2}{4}=.55=\)
55 percent
Answer D

Lets pick some easy numbers to work with. We know that during first year he won 40% or 40 games (assuming that number of played games is 100). During second year, he has won 60%(number of games played is twice the number played during forst year, e.g. 200) or 120 won games. In total he has won 120+40=160/300 which is 55% (D)
