If a team wins 2 more games they would win 70% of their games. They are playing a total of 20 games. How many games have they won so far?
They have won 12 games so far. Hope this helps.
17 games have won
To find out how many games the team has won so far, we need to set up an equation based on the information given.
Let's assume the number of games they have won so far is "x."
If they win 2 more games, the total number of games won would be "x + 2."
Since they would win 70% of their games, the percentage of games won is 70%.
The total number of games played is 20.
So, the equation can be written as: (x + 2) / 20 = 70% = 0.70
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Multiply both sides of the equation by 20:
(x + 2) = 0.70 * 20
Simplifying, we get:
x + 2 = 14
Now, subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
x = 14 - 2
Therefore, the team has won x = 12 games so far.
