what's up Lilg

lilg132 · Answer

75 + 45 remaining games = 120 games in total

120 / 100 = 1.2 (this is 1 percent of the games)

1.2 * 60 = 72 games is 60 percent of all games

Let x be the number games that have to be won beyond the 50 already won. solve the following for x:$$\frac{50+x}{75+45}=\frac{60}{100} $$$$x=22 $$
