Question

A baseball team has won 50 games of 75 played. The team has 45 remaining games to play. How many of the remaining games must a team win in order to win 60% of the total games played during the season?

A. 20
B. 21
C. 22
D. 23

Answer 1

C. 22

Explanation:

The team played 75 games and 45 remaining.

75+45=120

60% of 120 = 0.6×120= 72

The team must win 72 games and they already won 50 games so the team has to win 72-50=22 games more.
