Question

A baseball team played 32 games and lost 8. Katy was the catcher in of the winning games and of the losing games. In how many games did Katy play catcher?

Answer 1

In all 32 games Katy played catcher.

Explanation:

total number of games played + 32

number of losing games = 8

To find the number of games won by the baseball team, we will subtract 8 (no. of games lost) from 32 (no. of total games played):

32 - 8 = 24 (no. of winning games)

As, Katy was catcher in both winning and losing games;

winning games + losing games = total games in which Katy was catcher

24 + 8 = 32

So, Katy was catcher in all the 32 games the baseball team played!
