Our basketball team won 60 per cent of their games. if they lost 8 games, how many games did they play altogether? our basketball team won 60 per cent of their games. if they lost 8 games, how many games did they play altogether?

60% = X

40%=8 games

so if the lost 40% of the games which is 8 then to find 60% we will cross multiply to find the value of X which is the total number of games won.

60x8=40X

480=40X

X=12

so the numer of games played altogether is lost games (8) plus the won games (12)

total games = 8+12=20

they played 20 games altogether.
