Answer: The correct option is D which is 20 games.

Explanation:

Let x = total number of basketball games that was played by the team this season.

Alon started in 60% of his team’s basketball games this season. This means that he started in a total number of 60 percent of x basketball games this season.

60% of x basketball games this season = 60/100 × x

= 0.6×x = 0.6x

From the information given, Alon started a total of 12 basketball games this season. Therefore,

0.6x = 12

x = 12/0.6 = 20

Alon’s team played a total number of 20 games this season?
