Abaseball team played 140 regular season games. the ratio of the number of games they won the the number of games they lost was 5/2. how many games did they win? how many games did they lose?

x = the number of games won

y = the number of games lost

A baseball team played 140 regular season games:

x + y = 140

The ratio of wins to lost was 5/2 means:

x : y = 5 : 2 cross-multiply

5y = 2x

x + y = 140

5y = 2x

x = 100 games won

y = 40 games lost

The team won 100 games and lost 40 games.

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
