Question 475949: A soccer team has 16 wins and 13 losses. What is the least number of games which the team must win in a row in order for its winning percentage to be above 60%? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 16+p/29+p=.6
16+p=.6(29+p)
16+p=17.4+.6p
.4p=1.4
p=1.4/.4=3.5
The team needs to win 4 games in a row to be above 60%..
