62 1/2% of games played?
0.625 * 152 = number of games needed to win

To find out how many more games the team must win to finish the season winning 62 1/2% of games played, we first need to determine the total number of games they would need to win.
Given information:
- The team won 50 out of the first 92 games.
- The season consists of 152 games.
To find the total number of games the team needs to win, we can use the percent as a decimal. 62 1/2% can be expressed as 0.625.
Let's calculate the number of games they need to win in total to satisfy this percentage:
Total games = 152 * 0.625
Total games = 95
Now that we know the team needs to win a total of 95 games to finish with a 62 1/2% winning percentage, we can calculate the number of games they still need to win.
Games left to win = Total games - Games won
Games left to win = 95 - 50
Games left to win = 45
Therefore, the team must win 45 more games to finish the season with a winning percentage of 62 1/2%.
