Answer 1

The high school basketball team won 26 games after playing 40 games and winning 65 percent of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to calculate the number of wins a basketball team had after playing 40 games and winning 65 percent of them. To find the total number of games won, we need to use the following formula: (Winning Percentage) / 100 * (Total Games Played).

Applying the formula, we get: (65 / 100) * 40 = 26 games won. Therefore, the correct answer is b) 26.
