Question

a cricket team enjoys 60%of success in the first 15 matches played by it.what should be the success rate in the remaining natches to be played to have an overall success rate of 75% if the total no.of matches to be played is 40

Answer 1

Answer:

The success rate should be 84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Success rate in the first 15 matches = 60%

Thus, the number of matches won

$=15\times\frac{60}{100}$

$=9$

If success rate is to be 75% in 40 matches then no. of matches that should be won

$=40\times\frac{75}{100}$

$=30$

Extra matches to be won = $30-9=21$

Remaining matches = $40-15=25$

Success rate

$=\frac{21}{25}\times 100$

$=84\%$
