To determine the correct winning percentage, we need to divide the number of games won by the total number of games played and then convert this fraction to a percentage.

1. The Miami Heat played a total of 72 games.
2. They won 40 of these games.
3. The winning percentage is calculated by dividing the number of games won by the total number of games played:

[tex]\[ PCT = \frac{\text{games won}}{\text{total games played}} \][/tex]

4. Substituting the given values:

[tex]\[ PCT = \frac{40}{72} \][/tex]

5. Simplifying the fraction:

[tex]\[ \frac{40}{72} \approx 0.5555555555555556 \][/tex]

When rounded to three decimal places, the percentage is approximately 0.556.

Among the given options, the correct one that matches this calculation is:

A. [tex]$PCT = \frac{40}{72} = 0.556$[/tex]
