If last week Salazar played 13 more tennis games than Perry and they played a combined total of 53 games, then Salazar played a total of 33 games.
Let the total number of games played by Perry be x.
It is given that, Salazar played 13 more tennis games than Perry.
⇒ Total games played by Salazar = x + 13
Also, Salazar and Perry played a combined of 53 games.
Hence, total number of tennis games played by Salazar and Perry = 53
⇒ Games played by Salazar + Games played by Perry = 53
⇒ x + (x + 13) = 53
2x + 13 = 53
2x = 53 - 13
2x = 40
x = 40 / 2
x = 20
Therefore, total number of games played by Salazar = x+13
= 20 + 13
= 33
Thus, Salazar played total 33 games.
