Divide: 32/86 = ?
Change the decimal to a percent by moving the decimal point over two places to the right. Or multiply the decimal by 100.

2/3=.66
.66*86=57%

No, it's not 57%. divide 32 by 86 and multiply by 100. If rounding to the nearest whole number, you get 37% which makes sense since 32 seniors is a bit less than half (50%) of the whole team.
