the following could be the total number of games the
team played last season?

B) 20
C) 18
D) 14

Answer 1

Answer: B) 20 games

Step-by-step explanation: 65/100X20=13 this is the only whole number

Answer 2

Using percentages, it is found that the total number of games the  team played last season could have been of 20, given by option B.

• The team won exactly 65% of their games, thus, 65% of the number of games has to be an exact number.

Finding 65%(multiplying by 0.65) of the possible number of games given:

$22(0.65) = 14.3$

$20(0.65) = 13$

$18(0.65) = 11.7$

$14(0.65) = 9.1$

Only 65% of 20 results in an exact number, thus B is the correct option.
