Question 288274: A hockey team has won 50 games out of 75 played and has 45 games still to
play. The number of the remaining games that the team must win in order
that its percentage of games won for the entire season will be 60% is
(a) 0 (b) 10 (c) 22 (d) 27 (e) 45 Answer by amnd(23) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The team has played 75 games, and still has 45 games to play. The total number of games the team needs to play for the entire season would be 75 + 45 = 120.
They need a 60% percentage of games won. 60% is 6/10 (or 0.6) of the total, which means that the amount of games the team needs to win in total would be 0.6*120 = 6*12 = 72 games.
They have won 50 games, so the remaining amount they need to win would be 72 - 50 = 22 more games (c).
