Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

In the first year of the Pak Stickball League, the Bayonne Bombers won 50% of their games. During the second season of the league, the Bombers won 65% of their games. If there were twice as many games played in the second seasons as in the first, what percentage of the games did the Bombers win the first two years of the league?

If G is the game played in the first year, the games won = 0.5G

Games won in the second year = 0.65 × 2G = 1.3G

Total Games won = 0.5G + 1.3G = 1.8G

Percent of Games won = 1.8 3 × 100 = 60%
