Question

Juanita told her dad that she won 80% of the card games she played yesterday. If she won 4 games, how many games did she play?

Answer 1

0.8x = 4

x = 4/0.8

x = 5

Answer 2

number of games she plays = 5 games

Explanation:

Juanita told her dad that she won 80% of the card games she played yesterday.

Let x be the number of games she played

number of games times the percentage of games won is equal to the 4 games won. To remove % we divide by 100.

`x \cdot (80)/(100) = 4`

Multiply both sides by 100

`80x=400`

Divide both sides by 80

x=5

So number of games she plays = 5 games
