Answer 1

To determine how many games the school basketball team won last year, we need to calculate 75% of the total number of games played, which is 32.

To find 75% of 32, use the formula:

\[
\text{Number of Wins} = \text{Total Games} \times \left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right)
\]

So, substituting the values:

\[
\text{Number of Wins} = 32 \times \left(\frac{75}{100}\right)
\]

Calculating it step by step:

\[
\frac{75}{100} = 0.75
\]

Now multiply:

\[
32 \times 0.75 = 24
\]

Thus, the school basketball team won **24 games** last year.
