Question 5803: please help me on this word problem:
Define a variable and write an inequality. Then Solve. A local summer baseball team plays 20 games each season. So far, they have won 9 games and lost 2. How many more games must they win this season to win at least 75% of all their games.
Answer by Abbey(339) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x = the number of games they must win to hit the 75% mark:
the number of games won/total games = %/100%

then cross multiply:
100x=1500
divide both sides by 100
x=15
they must win 15 games, and they have already won 9, so they must win an additional 6 more.
