J) 30
K). none of these

Help 30 points !!!

Answer 1

K. none of these (36 wins needed)

Explanation:

1st way

80 + 40 = 120

80% of 120 = 96

96 - 60 = 36

2nd way

80 played + 40 left = 120 total

80% season record times 120 total =

12 times 8 is 96 = 80% win record

60 won 20 lost out of 80 total

120 total - 96 wins = 24 losses

96 wins 24 losses 120 total

96 wins - 60 wins = 36 wins out of 40 total
