Tiana Cooke · Answer 1

For this item, we let x be the number of games that Aditi will have to win in order to have a 70% winning record. Since, he already have 12 out of 20 games, the equation that will guarantee him the winning record is,

(12+x) : (20 + x) = 0.7

The value of x from the equation above is 6.67. Since, we cannot express the number of games in a fraction, the answer would then be 7.

The correct answers are 12+x = 0.80 (x+20) and 20
