Use a rule of three to find the number of won games in a season of 120 games.

If the rate is the same, then, you can write:


(20)/(110)=(x)/(120)

Now, solve for x and simplify:


\begin{gathered} x=(20)/(110)\cdot120 \\ x=21.81 \\ x\approx22 \end{gathered}

Hence, the Panthers would win 22 games
