Answer: 38 games

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is actually pretty simple to get to. You just need to find 76% of 50. Let x be the amount of games they have won this year. The equation is: x= 0.76*50. Why it is 0.76 instead of 76 is because percent is always out of 100 that is why the max is 100%. So 0.76 is the same as 76/100 which is also 76%. Back to the equation: x = 0.76*50. If you solve the equation which is just 0.76*50, you would get 38. 38 is how many games they won in the season.
