Question 246822: A soccer team has won 25 of its first 30 games this season. The team has 20 more games to play. How many of the remaining games must the team win in order to win 80% of its games this season? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25/30= 5/6 It has won 83% now
the team plays 50 games=30+20 for the season
x/50=4/5
x/50=4/5 divide by 5
x/10=4
x=40
It must win 40 games total
So it must win 15 of the next 20
25/30= 5/6 It has won 83% now
