Answer 1

If last week Salazar played 13 more tennis games than Perry and they played a combined total of 53 games, then Salazar played a total of 33 games.

Let the total number of games played by Perry be x.

It is given that, Salazar played 13 more tennis games than Perry.

⇒ Total games played by Salazar = x + 13

Also, Salazar and Perry played a combined of 53 games.

Hence, total number of tennis games played by Salazar and Perry = 53

⇒ Games played by Salazar + Games played by Perry = 53

⇒  x + (x + 13) = 53

2x + 13 = 53

2x = 53 - 13

2x = 40

x = 40 / 2

x = 20

Therefore, total number of games played by Salazar = x+13

= 20 + 13

= 33

Thus, Salazar played total 33 games.
