Since the Panthers won 30/80 games, their win rate is %.
So in a normal 90 game season, the Panthers are expected to win games.

The first part tells you .
That is to be the expected ratio of games won to total games played.
The question is , how many games expecting to win if the panthers play 90 games (in a season)? NOW you could set up a proportion , if you want or are required to.
You should be comfortable with THIS:
-----------------BUT you must take a whole value. You might predict number of wins to be 33 or 34. The value of w "solved" nearest to 34.

How many games won if 90 games played?
Round to nearst whole, 34.
