Question 439682: During the first half of the NBA season, the LA lakers won half of their games. What percentage of the remaining half must win to increase the winning by 55% Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's pretend that the Lakers played 200 games in the 1st 1/2 of the season and that they won 100 and lost 100.
To raise their winning pct by 55% they would have to win 155 games and lose 45.
155/200=.775 percentage of the remaining half must win to increase the winning by 55%.
