Calculate Peter's games: Josh had 133% as many games as Peter. Let's say Peter had x games. Then Josh had 1.33x games.
Calculate games given to Peter: By the end of the week, Josh gave away 25% of his games to Peter. So Josh gave away 0.25×1.33x games.
Calculate remaining games: Calculate the number of games Josh gave to Peter: 0.25×1.33x=0.3325x games.
Calculate remaining games: Calculate the number of games Josh gave to Peter: 0.25×1.33x=0.3325x games.Subtract the games Josh gave away from his total to find out how many he has left: 1.33x−0.3325x=x games.
