Answer: 32 matches

Explanation:

Let the games in total that the baseball team played be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation as:

62.5% × x = 20

62.5/100 × x = 20

0.625 × x = 20

0.625x = 20

x = 20/0.625

x = 32

The team played a total of 32 matches.
