Our badminton team has finished $75\%$ 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?

Let G be the total  number of  games   you  play

Let .75 G be the number of  games  you  have played

Let . 30 (.75)G be the number of  games  you  have won

Let .25G be the games  left

Let  .50G = the number of  wins  you  must have

And number of wins you  need - Number of  wins  you  have =  No. of  wins you need in  your remaining  schedule

 

So

 

[ No. of wins you  need - No, of  wins you have  ] / [ No. of Games Left ]

 

[ .50G - .30 (.75)G ] /  .25G  =

 

(.275 G )  / ( .25G) =  1.1

 

You need to  win  110%  of the games  you  have left which is  impossible !!!
