Question

The phillies won 3 of their first 21 games. How many games in a row after these 21 games do the phillies have to win in order to have won exactly 3/5 of the games they played

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

We can write:

3 + x = 3/5 * (21 + x) where x is the answer

3 + x = 63/5 + 3/5x

15 + 5x = 63 + 3x

2x = 48

x = 24
