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

[tex]x= \frac{100*32}{80}= \frac{3200}{80}=40 [/tex] - 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,

[tex]=x\times \dfrac{80}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=x\times \dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

As it is given as 32, so

[tex]\Rightarrow x\times \dfrac{4}{5}=32[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=32\times \dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=8\times 5[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=40[/tex]

Therefore, the total number of games is 40
