Q. Ryan played 2020 consecutive games of soccer without being taken off the field. Then, after a single game on the sidelines, he played another string of consecutive games, although this string was 30%30\% longer. How many consecutive games was that?\newline____ consecutive games
  1. Calculate Length of Second String: Calculate the length of the second string of games, which is 30%30\% longer than the first string of 2020 games.\newlineCalculation: 2020 games + (30%30\% of 2020 games) = 20+(0.30×20)=20+6=2620 + (0.30 \times 20) = 20 + 6 = 26 games.
  2. Verify Calculation for Increase: Verify the calculation for the 30%30\% increase to ensure accuracy.\newlineCalculation Check: 0.30×20=60.30 \times 20 = 6; 20+6=2620 + 6 = 26.
