a baseball team has already played 37 games and won 21 games. The season has a total of 63 games. How many more games do they have to win to keepthe same winning percentage? (answer should be a whole number)

total played: 58
win pct = 21/58 = 36.2%

36.2% of 63 = 22.8

So, they need 23 wins by the end of the season. They need 2 more wins.
