Question 536730: A student palyed a computer game 500 times and won 370 of these games.He then won the next x games and lost none.He has now won 75% of the games he has played.Find the value of x Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The student played a total of 500+x games of which he won 370+x. This ratio is given as 75% or 0.75, so... Cross-multiply. Subtract 0.75x from both sides. Subtract 370 from both sides. Finally, divide both sides by 0.25
