Verified Answer :

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:

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
