Answer:

30 games

Step-by-step explanation:

As a reduced fraction 85% is equal to 85/100 = 17/20. Therefore, the number of games Teddy played yesterday must have been a multiple of 20. Suppose Teddy played 20m games, so he won 17m games.

Also, suppose Teddy played n games today. As a reduced fraction, 94% is equal to 94/100 = 47/50. Since Teddy won every game he played today, we have

(17m + n)/(20m + n) = 47/50

Cross-multiplying, we get 850m + 50n = 940m + 47n. Then 3n = 90m, so n = 30m. Therefore, the minimum number of games that Teddy played today is 30.

The equation we use here is:
(0.85)x +(1.00)y = (0.94)(x + y)
x is for the number of games he played on first day, y is the games on second day. The coefficients are the decimal form of percentages.

Simplify:
0.85x + y = 0.94x + 0.94y \\ \\ 0.06y = 0.09x \\ \\ \frac{6y}{100} = \frac{9x}{100} \\ \\ 6y = 9x \\ \\ 2y = 3x

To find x we need to use the ratio. We have 85/100 as the first day's ratio and because the games needs to be whole, we can simplify this as 17/20. So in first day, he played at least 20 games and won 17 of them.

When we plug the 20 into the equation as x:
2y = 3 \times 20 \\ \\ 2y = 60 \\ \\ y = 30
So he needs to play at least 30 games in order to get his score to 94%.

Work out the size of one of the exterior angles
hodyreva [135]

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>Information</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

⠀

  • A polygon with 10 sides ( Decagon )

⠀

<u>To</u><u> </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

⠀

  • The value of one of the exterior angles

⠀

<u>Formula</u><u> </u><u>Used</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

⠀

\qquad \diamond \:  \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \sf Exterior ~angle = \dfrac {360^\circ}{no. ~of~sides}}}} \:  \star

⠀

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

⠀

Putting the given values, we get,

⠀

\sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle =  \dfrac{360  ^\circ}{10} \:  \:   \\  \\  \\ \sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle =  \frac{36 \cancel{0}^\circ}{ \cancel{10}} \:  \:   \\  \\  \\ \sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle =  \underline{ \boxed{ \frak{ \red{36^\circ}}}} \: \star \\  \\

Thus, the value of the exterior angles of a Decagon is 36°.

⠀

\underline{ \rule{227pt}{2pt}} \\  \\
