At the end of week $30$ $30$ your team will win $65 %$ $65%$ of the total game for the first time in the season.

Explanation:

Let the number of weeks more required is $n$ $n$

$n$ $n$ is positive . Total win will be $W = 3 + 3 n$ $W= 3+3n$ and

total loss will be $L = 17 + n$ $L= 17+n$ . By given condition ,

$\frac{W}{W + L} \geq \frac{65}{100} or \frac{3 + 3 n}{(3 + 3 n) + (17 + n)} \geq \frac{65}{100}$ $W/(W+L) >=65/100 or (3+3n)/((3+3n)+(17+n)) >=65/100$ or

$\frac{3 + 3 n}{4 + 20 n} \geq \frac{65}{100} or 300 + 300 n \geq 1300 + 260 n$ $(3+3n)/(4+20n) >=65/100 or 300+300n>=1300+260n$ or

$40 n \geq 1000 or n \geq 25$ $40n>=1000 or n>=25$ .After $25$ $25$ week i.e at the end of

week $30$ $30$ your team will win $65 %$ $65%$ of the total game

for the first time in the season. [Ans]
