Question

At the beginning of the week, Josh had 323232 computer games, 133\33, percent as many computer games as Peter had. By the end of the week, Josh gave 25\%%, percent of his computer games to Peter. How many computer games did Josh and Peter each have by the end of the week

Answer 1

Answer:

$Josh =24$

$Peter = 32$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Beginning of Week

$Josh = 32$

$Josh = 133\% * Peter$

First, we calculate the amount Peter has at the beginning of the week

$Josh = 133\% * Peter$

Make Peter the subject

$Peter = \frac{Josh}{133\%}$

$Peter = \frac{32}{133\%}$

$Peter = \frac{32}{1.33}$

$Peter = 24$

When Josh gave out 25%.

The number (n) of computers is:

$n = Josh * 25\%$

$n = 32 * 25\%$

$n = 8$

This means that Josh gave out 8 computers.

So, the amount they both have is:

$Josh =32 - 8$

$Josh =24$

$Peter = 24+8$

$Peter = 32$
