Question

The Panthers played 40 games last season and lost 20% of the games. How

many games did they win?

Answer 1

20% = 2/10 of the games, or 1/5.

40 / 5 = 8. 8 [out of 40] is 1/5.

They lost 20% (1/5) of the games, which is 8.

Now, we can subtract 8 from the total amount of games played: 40 - 8 = 32.

So, the Panthers won 32 games last season.
