The team has played 75 games, and still has 45 games to play. The total number of games the team needs to play for the entire season would be 75 + 45 = 120.
They need a 60% percentage of games won. 60% is 6/10 (or 0.6) of the total, which means that the amount of games the team needs to win in total would be 0.6*120 = 6*12 = 72 games.
They have won 50 games, so the remaining amount they need to win would be 72 - 50 = 22 more games (c).
