Find Initial Games: First, let's find out how many games Peter had at the beginning. Since Josh had 133% as many games as Peter, we set up the equation: 1.33×Peter’s games=32.
Calculate Peter's Games: Now, we solve for Peter's games: Peter's games = 1.3332.
Round to Whole Number: Calculating that gives us Peter's games = 24.06, but since you can't have a fraction of a game, Peter must have had 24 games.
