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.
