In professional baseball, each team plays 160 games. After playing half their games, team A has won 60 and team B has won 49. If team A wins half of its remaining games, how many of its remaining games must team B win to have the same number of wins as team A?

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples

this is a good question! i’ll do some research and what i find, i’ll contact you asap when i have something! ✊
