According to this—assuming I’m reading it correctly—Trump need only win 42% of the remaining delegates:

No, he needs to win about 66% of the remaining unpledged delegates to clinch the nomination.

Nah, Trump has 694 delegates

To reach 1237, Trump only needs 52% of the remaining 1040 delegates.

Some contests will be WTA as well. So long as Trump wins by the margins he’s already been winning, he will attain a comfortable majority of the delegates.

We’re the math gets confusing is a fairly low percentage win in *votes* can translate to a very large win in *delegates*, depending on how delegates are apportioned, look at Missouri or Illinois as examples of this. These are not winner take all, but effectively winner take all at a district level.
