Answer 1

Scott has 6000 points in his fantasy baseball league.

SOLUTION:

Given, Donal currently has 7,200 points in his fantasy baseball league.

It is 20% more points than Scott points.

We need to know how many points does scott have?

Let the points with scott be x.

Then, according to give information

Donal points = scott points + 20% of scott points

`\begin{array}{l}{7200=x+20 \% * x} \\\\ {7200=x+(20)/(100) * x} \\\\ {7200=x+(1)/(5) * x} \\\\ {7200=x+(x)/(5)}\end{array}`

By multiplying with 5 on both sides, we get

`\begin{array}{l}{7200 * 5=5 * x+x} \\\\ {36000=5 x+x} \\\\ {6 x=36000} \\\\{x=(36000)/(6)} \\\\ {x=6000}\end{array}`

Hence, scott has 6000 points in his fantasy baseball league.
