Question

A middle school basketball team won 36% of the games it played last season. the team won exactly 9 games last season. what is the total number of games that the team played? explain how you got your answer​

Answer 1

9 games equals 36 percent of x number of total games.

9=(36/100)x

Multiply both sides by (100/36) to isolate x.

9*(100/36)=x

x=25 total games
