write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total points

Add up points scored by all players: $30 + 90+30=150$

Step2: Calculate Jake's percentage

Use formula $\frac{\text{Jake's points}}{\text{Total points}}\times100\%$. So, $\frac{90}{150}\times100\% = 60\%$

Answer:

$60\%$
