    Correct Answer: 8

    Correct Solution:

    25/100 * 24 = 5.9 = about 6

    (we need to put 25 out of 100 because percentages always equal 100) (cent)

    24-6 = 18

    so that is the answer

    It is important to understand the words of the problem for solving this question.

    Number of baseball games Bernie won last year = 24

    Percentage of less games that Bernie won this year = 25%

    Then

    Number of games won less by Bernie this year = (25/100) * 24

    = (1/4) * 24

    = 6

    So it can be seen that Bernie won 6 less games this year.

    Now

    The total number of games won by Bernie this year = 24 - 6

    = 18

    So Bernie won a total of 18 games this year. I hope the procedure is clear to you and the answer deduced is actually the one you were looking for.
