Answer 2

Given :-

• $\sf Match \: won = 15$

• $\sf Percentage \: of \: winning = 30\%$

To Find :-

• $\sf Total \: number \: of \: match\: played =?$

Solution :-

• Let the number of match played be x.

$\small\underline{\pmb{\sf \:According \: to \: the \: question :-}}$

$\qquad\leadsto\quad \sf \pink{30\% \: of \: x = 15}$

$\qquad\leadsto\quad \sf \dfrac{30}{100} x = 15$

$\qquad\leadsto\quad \sf 0.3x = 15$

$\qquad\leadsto\quad \sf x = \dfrac{15}{0.3}$

$\qquad\leadsto\quad \sf x = \dfrac{15 \times 100}{30}$

$\qquad\leadsto\quad \sf \pink{x = 50}$

$\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{Total Match played is \textbf{ 50}}}.$
