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.
