At the beginning of the basketball season, the Panthers won 30 games out of 60 games. At this rate, how many games will they win in a normal 80 game season?
I'm having trouble with setting up an equation to solve this problem.

They are winning (30/60)(100%)= 50% of their games.
(0.50)(80)=40 At the same rate, they will win 40 out of 80 games.
