Question

a cricket team won 60%of the total matches if played during the year 2004.if it had lost 8matches in all and no matches was drawn ,find the total number of matches played by the team

Answer 1

100 % 40% = 60%
Matches played = 'x'
Lost = 12
60 % of x = 12
60/100 × x = 12
60 × x = 12 × 100
x = 1200/60
x = 20
Matches played = 20

Answer 2

Hii there!!!

Percentage of matches won = 60%

Percentage of matches lost = 100 - 60 = 40%

Given,

Number of matches lost = 8

Let the total number of matches be x

40/100 * x = 8

x = 8 * 100/40

x = 20 matches

Hope it helps....
