18 video games are returned to the store, and a special orange label is used to show they are "used games." Nisha looks around the store and notices that 3 out of 20 games she looked at have the orange label. Using this ratio, what is the best estimate for the total number of games in the store?

Answer:

Based on the ratio Nisha observed, the best estimate for the total number of games in the store is 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

# Given values

returned_games = 18

observed_games = 20

observed_used_games = 3

# Observed ratio of used games

observed_ratio = observed_used_games / observed_games

# Estimated total number of games in the store

# Assuming the observed ratio of used to total games applies to the entire store

# And knowing the number of returned (used) games, we can estimate the total number of games

estimated_total_games = returned_games / observed_ratio

estimated_total_games
