Question

A player has won 20 out of the total number of
games she has played till date. The ratio between
her number of victories and number of defeats
is 2:3. She plays 20 more games. Find the total
number of victories if the ratio between the
number of victories and defeats remains the sam​

Answer 1

victories in first Twenty

8

victories in all over

16

Step-by-step explanation:

let the victories as X

2:3 =20

2X+3x =20

5x =20

x=20/5

x=4

let we put the value of x

2x +3x = 20

2(4)+3(4)=20

8+12=20

20=20

LHS=RHS

in whole game the ratio same so again

this time we'll let the victories are y

2y+3y=40

5y =40

y=40/5

y=8

now we put the value of y

2(8)+3(8) =40

16+24=40

40 =40

LHS = RHS

AM I RIGHT
