a student playing a computer chess game gets 5 points every time he wins a round.the computer gets 3 points every time it wins a round.they play 64 rounds and end with a tied score.how many rounds did the computer win.

please help me ..
i think the answer is 8 because...
5+3=8
64/8=8
3*8=24
5*8=40
40+24=64
i don't know if that's the answer
