Question

A cricket team won 15 matches from the total they played. This was 60% of the total. How many games were​

Answer 1

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

let total no. of matches played be x

so 60% of x is 15

60/100*x = 15

x = 15÷(60/100) = 25

matches they lost = 25-15 = 10

Answer 2

The total number of matches played by them is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of matches won = 15

This was 60% of the total games played.  

To find:

The total number of games.  

Solution:

Let the total number of matches played by the cricket team be .

∴ 60% of x = 15

⇒$\frac{60}{100} \!\!\times\!\!\ x=15$

⇒$x=15 \!\!\times\!\!\ \frac{100}{60}$

⇒$x=\frac{100}{4} =25$

Thus, the total games played were 25.
