Question

A local basketball coach has won 32 of his

first 40 games. If at the end of his career he
has lost only 20 games, at the same rate,
how many total games did he play?
38
A 90
B 100
C 120
D 105

Answer 1

B. 100

Explanation:

Won 32 of 40 total games:

Then lost:

40 - 32 = 8

lost: 8 game

Then:

8 games lost ⇒ 40 total games

20 games lost ⇒ X total games

X = 20 * 40 / 8

X = 800/8

X = 100
