Calculate Length of Second String: Calculate the length of the second string of games, which is 30% longer than the first string of 20 games.Calculation: 20 games + (30% of 20 games) = 20+(0.30×20)=20+6=26 games.
Verify Calculation for Increase: Verify the calculation for the 30% increase to ensure accuracy.Calculation Check: 0.30×20=6; 20+6=26.
