How many games did they lose?

6 games

Right.

To find out how many games the Gates football team lost, we need to calculate 20% of the total number of games they played. Here's how you can do it:

1. Start by converting the percentage to a decimal. Divide 20 by 100: 20/100 = 0.2.

2. Multiply the decimal by the total number of games played. In this case, the team played 30 games, so multiply 0.2 by 30: 0.2 * 30 = 6.

Therefore, the Gates football team lost 6 games out of the 30 they played.
