They have won 60 games in the 1992-93 season. It says 150% more, so 24 + 150%. 1% of 24 is 24, and 50% of 24 is 12. 24 + 12 = 36, 36 + 24 = 60.
Knicks won 24 games in 1986-87
In 1992-93, they won 150% more games than what they won in 1986-87
Number of games Knicks won in 1992-93 = 24 + (150% of 24)
= 24 + (150/1 * 24)
= 24 + 36
= 60.
Hence, Knicks won 60 games in 1992-93
If the Knicks won only 24 games and increased 150% six years later the they won 36 games because 24*150%- 24*1.5=36
