My question is: A basketball team won 40 games in their last competition. In the next competition, they won 5/8 times as many games as they won in their first competition. In the third competition, they won the same number of games as the sum of the first and second competition winnings. Calculate the total number of wins they had in the three competitions. Your thoughts:
If they won 40 games in the first competition, they won 5 / 8 * 40 = 25 games in their second season. In the third competition, they won games equal to the sum of the games they won in the last two competitions, which is 25 + 40 = 65 games. Since the total number of games they won in the first two competitions is 65, and they won 65 more in the third competition, they won a total of 65 + 65 = 130 in all competitions. The final answer: 130.
