Answer:

[tex]20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] = games played in total

From the fact that [tex]15\%[/tex] of the games the team played is equivalent to [tex]3[/tex] games, we can write:

[tex]15\%x = 3[/tex]

[tex]x=3\div 15\%[/tex]

[tex]=20[/tex]

∴ Lola's hockey team played a total of 20 games.

Hope this helps :)
