Let’s look at it from the point of ‘what do I want to know’?

I want to know how much 60% of the games will be.

All the games played is 75 + 45 = 120 games.

What’s 60% of that? 120 x .6 = 72

(I hope that’s right – check it out.)

So, to win 60% of the games, we have to win 72 games. We’ve already won 50 of them, so how many more do we need to win?

72 games that need won -50 games already won = 22 games still to be won.

75 + 45 = 120

60% of 120 = 72

They’ve won 50, so they need to win 22 more to win 60% total.
