104 games.
160 x 0.65 = 104

Yes it is 104 games. You multiply it by .65 because if they win all games 160 x 1 would just be 160, or a perfect season. Since this team lost some games their percentage of wins wont be 1, it will be lower than 1. You multiply becuase when a number is lower than 1 it reduces the total not increases it. It is like the inverse.
