After winning 50 percent of the first x games it played, Team A won the remaining 10 games it played. What is the value of x?

Notice that the total # of games played is x + 10.

(1) Team A won 5/8 of all the games it played. The total # of games won = 0.5x + 10 = 5/8(x+10). We can find x. Sufficient.

(2) The total number of games Team A won is equal to x/2 + 10. We knew this from the stem: total games won = 0.5x + 10 = x/2 + 10. Not sufficient.

Answer: A.

Hello from the GMAT Club BumpBot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).

Want to see all other topics I dig out? Follow me (click follow button on profile). You will receive a summary of all topics I bump in your profile area as well as via email.
