Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem states "the Panthers won 40 games out of 17 games"
It is impossible to win more games than the number of games.
Perhaps the problem should state "the Panthers won 17 games out of 40 games"
If this is correct, then we can answer the question with a proportion.
17 wins is to 40 games as x wins is to 120 games
17/40 = x/120
40 * x = 17 * 120
Divide both sides by 40.
x = 17 * 3
x = 51
Answer: 51
