Question 1007100: If Cynna won 80% of the games and had played 16 winning games, how many total games had she played?
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x represents the number of games she played.
80% is equivalent to the fraction of 80/100 = .8
.8 * x = 16
divide both sides of this equation by .8 to get:
x = 16/.8
solve for x to get x = 20.

20 games were played in total.
she won 80% of them.
80% of 20 is equal to .8 * 20 which is equal to 16.
