3) Before district play, the basketball team won 10 of their games, or 40% of their games. During district play, they won six more games and finished the season having won half their games. What percentage of their games did they win at districts? Round to the nearest percent.
|
- If the team won 10 games and that was 40% of their wins, then compute the number of games played before district = _____
- Compute the total number of games played
(before and during district) = _____ games.
- The number of district games played = _____ games.
- Compute their winning percentage at district = ____%

4) I am a mystery number. If you multiply me by 2 and take away 5 the result is the same number when you first add 2 to me and then multiply the result by 5. What number am I?
|
Let n be the number.
The equation is:
    2n - 5 = (n + 2)5
    n = ______

5) The table shows some data about the number of students enrolled at a junior high. A line fits the
data well for the data shown. If the line is accurate, what is an equation you can use to compute the
enrollment for 2015 and other years? Use t as the number of years since 2000, and S for student
enrollment.
|
- The equation for a line is y = m x + b where:
m = the slope of the line and
b = the y-intercept
- For our equation, the year (t) is the x axis and the student enrollment (S) is y.
- Substitute the problem values into the equation of a line and solve:
    S = __________________
