Given:
The team has played 2/3 of its games. The team has played 20 games.
If 2/3 of the total number of games = 20, then the total number of games = 30.
This means that there are 10 games remaining.


We want the team to win at least 3/4 of its games.
3/4 of 30 = 22.5
So, in order to win at least 3/4 of the games, the team must win a total of 23 games or more.

The team has already won 17 games, so it needs to win at least 6 of the remaining 10 games.
Or we can say that the team can lose 4 games at most.

Answer: D

Cheers,
Brent
