At the end of Week 5 of my basketball team's season, our record is 3 wins and 17 losses. Each week after that, we win 3 games and lose 1 game. At the end of which week will my team have won at least $65\%$ of its games total for the first time in the season?

Answer:

30th week

Step-by-step explanation:

       Basketball team wins 3 matches and loses 17 in the first five weeks.

After fifth week, every week the team wins 3 matches and loses 1 match.

       Consider the number of weeks as [tex]x[/tex].

There are [tex]x-5[/tex] weeks after the fifth week, so there are [tex]3(x-5)[/tex] wins and [tex]x-5[/tex] losses.

       So, cumulatively, at the end of [tex]x[/tex] weeks, the team has won [tex]3(x-5)+3[/tex] matches and lost [tex](x-5)+17[/tex] matches.

       Team should win 65% of it's games ⇒  [tex]3(x-5)+3\geq \frac{65}{100}(3(x-5)+3+(x-5)+17) \\20(3x-12)\geq 13(4x)\\60x-240\geq 52x\\8x\geq 240\\x\geq 30[/tex]

       So, at the end of [tex]30^{th}[/tex] week, the teem would have won atleast 65% of it's matches.

At the end of [tex]30^{th}[/tex] week, the teem would have won atleast 65% of it's matches
