Question

4. In a 5-match test series, Indian team won 60 percentage of matches. Find how many matches

lost by Indian team?​

Answer 1

There are "2 matches lost" by Indian team.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of match in test series = 5 and

Indian team won percentage of matches = 60 %

To find, the number of matches  lost by Indian team = ?

∴ The number of matches  won by Indian team

= $\dfrac{60}{100} \times 5$

= $\dfrac{3}{5} \times 5$

= 3 matches

∴ Total number of match in test series = The number of matches  won by Indian team + The number of matches  lost by Indian team

⇒ The number of matches  lost by Indian team =  Total number of match in test series - The number of matches  won by Indian team

∴ The number of matches  lost by Indian team = 5 - 3 = 2 matches

Thus, there are "2 matches lost" by Indian team.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are "2 matches lost" by Indian team.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of match in test series = 5 and

Indian team won percentage of matches = 60 %

To find, the number of matches  lost by Indian team = ?

∴ The number of matches  won by Indian team

=  60/100*5

=  3/5*5

= 3 matches

∴ Total number of match in test series = The number of matches  won by Indian team + The number of matches  lost by Indian team

⇒ The number of matches  lost by Indian team =  Total number of match in test series - The number of matches  won by Indian team

∴ The number of matches  lost by Indian team = 5 - 3 = 2 matches

Thus, there are "2 matches lost" by Indian team.
