Question 1006966: You have won 3 out of 17 games how many games will you have to win in a row to improve your winning percentage to 90%? The answer is 123 but I don't know how to work the problem out please help . Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the number of games to be played be x. Then we set it up like this:
We cross-multiply and get
3 + x = 15.3 + .9x
.1x = 12.3
and
x = 123 games
