A team begins its season by winning 10 games and losing 14 games. What is the least number of games that the team must play in the remainder of the season so that the team can win at least 5/7 of all of its games in the season?

A) 25
B) 30
C) 35
D) 49
E) 74


Are You Up For the Challenge: 700 Level Questions

You can view it as a weighted averages question. Currently it has won 10/24 = 5/12 of all its games. If we need minimum number of extra games, we are assuming that the team will win all extra games so its winning concentration will be 1.
The average must come out to be 5/7

\(\frac{w1}{w2} = \frac{(A2 - Avg)}{(Avg - A1)} = \frac{1 - 5/7}{5/7 - 5/12} = \frac{24}{25}\)

So ratio of games played : extra games = 24:25. Since 24 games have been played, 25 more games must be played.

Answer (A)

For weighted averages concept, check: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GOAU7moZ2Q
