Question

After a really rotten year in 2008, a baseball team won 120% as many games in 2009, which was 84 games. How many games did they win in 2008?

Answer 1

100.8

120%   of  84       Result            100.800

Answer 2

Answer:

40 games

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the team won 84 games in 2009

let the number of games they won in 2008 be x.

given:

2009 wins = 120% of 2008 wins

mathematically,

84 = 120% of x

84 = (120/100) x

x = 84 (100/120) = 40 games
