Hi

A basketball team has won 50 games of 75 played. 

The team still has 45 games to play. 

How many of the remaining games must the team win.  being that amount

 in order to win 60% of all games played during the season? 

 (total games won)/(total games played) = 60%



  

  

           x = 22

and

 72/120 = .60 or 60% win record
