Answer:

18

Explanation:

Games at the fall festival cost 4$ each and the total cost of the awards for the winners of those games cost 162.50$.

Hence, the number of games to be played is
(162.5)/(4) =40.625.

Now, 162.5$ is the cost of 40.625 games to be organized.

Therefore, 75$ will be the cost for
(40.625 * 75)/(162.5) =18.75 ≈ 18 games to be organised.

Therefore, 18 games must be played to make 75$. (Answer)
