Q. At the beginning of the week, Josh had 3232 computer games, 133% 133 \% as many computer games as Peter had. By the end of the week, Josh gave 25% 25 \% of his computer games to Peter. How many computer games did Josh and Peter each have by the end of the week?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Josh had 88 games; Peter had 2424 games.\newline(B) Josh had 2424 games; Peter had 88 games.\newlineC) Josh had 2424 games; Peter had 3232 games.\newlineD Josh had 3232 games; Peter had 2424 games.
  1. Find Initial Games: First, let's find out how many games Peter had at the beginning. Since Josh had 133%133\% as many games as Peter, we set up the equation: 1.33×Peter’s games=321.33 \times \text{Peter's games} = 32.
  2. Calculate Peter's Games: Now, we solve for Peter's games: Peter's games = 321.33\frac{32}{1.33}.
  3. Round to Whole Number: Calculating that gives us Peter's games = 24.0624.06, but since you can't have a fraction of a game, Peter must have had 2424 games.
