Asked by Bob
Our basketball team has finished 80% of its season, during which we won 40% of the games we played. What percent of the remainder of our games must we win in order to finish the season with the same number of wins as losses?

If there are n games, you want
.40*.80n + p*.20n = .50n
.32 + .20p = .50
.20p = .18
p = .18/.20 = .9, or 90%
Check. If there are 100 games, you have won 32 already. So, there are 20 games left, and you need to win 18 of them, or 90%
