Question

80% of how many games is 32

Answer 1

To find our number we can use proportion.
80%--------------32 (means that 80% is 32)
100%----------x (means that 100% is x)
To find x we have to crossmultiply


`x= (100*32)/(80)= (3200)/(80)=40` - its the result.

Answer 2

The total number of games is 40.

Explanation:

Let us assume the total number of games played is x.

So 80% of total number of games is,

`=x* (80)/(100)`

`=x* (4)/(5)`

As it is given as 32, so

`\Rightarrow x* (4)/(5)=32`

`\Rightarrow x=32* (5)/(4)`

`\Rightarrow x=8* 5`

`\Rightarrow x=40`

Therefore, the total number of games is 40
