Problema Solution
Define a variable and write an inequality. Then solve the resulting inequality. The Braves play 162 games in a season. So far, they have won 56 and lost 40. To win at least 60% of all games, how many games must they win?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of games they must win
162 * 0.6 = 97.2
they must win 98 games to have a winning percentage of at least 60%, therefore:
x>=(98-56)
x>=42
the Braves must win at least 42 more games
