Let be Z the money ;
We have ( 40 / 100 ) x Z = $85 ;
( 4 / 10 ) x Z = $85 ;
( 2 / 5 ) x Z = $85 ;
Z = $( 85 x 5 ) ÷ 3 ;
Z = $425 ÷ 3 ;
Z = $141,66 ≈ $142 ;
Ratio: 3/4 : 1/2
We can also write this as:
3/4 / 1/2
Flip the 2nd fraction and multiply:
3/4 * 2/1
Multiply the numerators and denominators together:
6/4
Simplify:
3/2
The correct answer is 104 games.
You get that number by dividing 160 with a 100, to find out how large 1% is, and then you multiply it with 65 to find out how much 65% is, and the answer is 104 games.
