4 0

So,
60% ----> 12 games
100%----> ? Games
So 100 x 12 divided by 60 so Alan's team played a total of 20 games :)

Alan played D. 20 games this season

Explanation:
Let's set up a proportion for this problem

12 60 %
---- = ----
? 100%

Our goal is to find the number that should represent the ? mark. You can notice that to get from 60 to 12, you divide by 5. So, to get from 100 to ?, you would divide by 5 as well. 100/5 = 20, therefore that is the answer.
