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

$x= \frac{100*32}{80}= \frac{3200}{80}=40$ - its the result.

Answer 2

Answer:

The total number of games is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

So 80% of total number of games is,

$=x\times \dfrac{80}{100}$

$=x\times \dfrac{4}{5}$

As it is given as 32, so

$\Rightarrow x\times \dfrac{4}{5}=32$

$\Rightarrow x=32\times \dfrac{5}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x=8\times 5$

$\Rightarrow x=40$

Therefore, the total number of games is 40
