Question 659613: The Cincinnati Reds play 162 games in a season. So far they have won 57 games. HOw many more games must they win in order to win at leats 65% of all games for the season? Write an inequality

The question is how many games out of 162 will yield in at least .65 wins.
The setup:
x/162 > .65
x/162 * 162 > .65 * 162
x > 105.3
They need to win greater than 105 games. If they have already won 57 games, then 105 - 57 = 48 more games they need to win.
