Games lost = x

Games won = 16 + 3x

Total games = 104

104 = (x) + (16 + 3x)

104 = 4x + 16

4x = 88

x = 22

Games lost = 22

Games won = 82

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the FDP of 0.3

exis [7]

Answer:

0.3 = 3/10 = 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

The reading of the number as "three tenths" tells you how to write the fraction:

0.3 = 3/10

You can also express the same value in hundredths. Of course /100 is just a long way to write %, so ...

0.3 = 0.30 = 30/100 = 30%

0.3 = 3/10 = 30%

I believe your answer is:

Here’s why:

I have graphed the two equations in a program. When graphed, the lines intersect at point (0.286, 5.587).
See the graph attached.
