To determine which of the given options could be the total number of games the team played last season, we need to find a number that, when multiplied by 65%, results in a whole number.<br /><br />Let's calculate the number of games won for each option:<br /><br />A. 22 games:<br />65% of 22 = 0.65 * 22 = 14.3 (not a whole number)<br /><br />B. 20 games:<br />65% of 20 = 0.65 * 20 = 13 (a whole number)<br /><br />C. 18 games:<br />65% of 18 = 0.65 * 18 = 11.7 (not a wholeD. 14 games:<br />65% of 14 = 0.65 * 14 = 9.1 (not a whole number)<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is B. 20.
