+279 Our badminton team has finished 60% of its season. So far, we have won 30% of the games we played. What percent of the remainder of our games must we win in order to finish the season with the same number of wins as losses?
+1897 We can easily use variables to accomplish this question.
Suppose the percent of the remainder of games needed to win is x%.
We have the equation
\(60\% \cdot 30\% + (1 - 60\%) x\% = 50\%\\ 0.18 + 0.004x = 0.5\\ x = 80\)
Thus, our answer is 80%.
Thanks! :)
