Answer 1

Answer:

20 wins.

Explanation:

30/3 = 10 - 3 =  7.

(You have to guess how to solve it so I used division and then checked it and revised it by filling in the missing info.)

**Since the wins are 3 times the losses you can double 10.

Check: 20+7 = 27 + 3 = 30.

So 7 losses and 20 wins.
