. In june a baseball team that played 60 games had won 30%
of its game played. After a phenomenal winning streak this
team raised its average to 50% .How many games must the
team have won in a row to attain this average?
Answer Posted / hemant
30% of 60 games = 18 games
Let
x = number of games won during the winning streak
(18 + x)/(60 + x) = 0.50
18 + x = 0.50(60 + x)
18 + x = 30 + 0.50x
0.50x = 12
x = 24
