Answer:

He won 13 times and lost 1 time

Explanation:

divide 67 by 5 so 67÷5 you would get 13.4 you take the whole number 13 and multiply it by 5 and that will get you to 65 so then you only have 2 left over and if you lose you get 2 point so therefore you know that he lost only once

(13•5)+2=67
