Question

Missy has 130 games. Jens team has won 80% of those games. How many games has Jens team won

Answer 1

Missy has 130 games.

Jens team has won 80% of those games (that is 130 games)

So we need to find 80% of 130 games.

`(80)/(100)*130=104`

Therefore, Jens team has won 104 games.

We can also understand this problem in a graphical way.

To model the percentages with bar model,

Make equal length boxes, in this case, each box shows 20% games

The boxes colored with red show the games won by Jens team.

`\begin{gathered} 20\%=(20)/(100)*130=26 \\ 40\%=26+26=52 \\ 60\%=26+26+26=78 \\ 80\%=26+26+26+26=104 \end{gathered}`
