To find out how many games the school basketball team won last year, we calculate 75% of their total games played, which is 32.
First, we convert 75% to a decimal by dividing by 100:
\[
75\% = \frac{75}{100} = 0.75
\]
Next, we multiply the total number of games (32) by 0.75:
\[
\text{Number of wins} = 32 \times 0.75
\]
Calculating the above:
\[
32 \times 0.75 = 24
\]
Thus, the school basketball team won **24 games** last year.
