Question

A cricket team won 60% of the total matches it played during the year. If it lost 24 matches in all and no matches were drawn, find the number of matches played during the year. answer is 60,2/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total matches played by the cricket team during the year(n)= 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Total matches played by the cricket team during the year = n

Number matches won = 60%

Number matches lost = (100-60)%

= 40%

Now,

According to the problem given,

40% of n = 24

=> 40% × n = 24

40/100 x n = 24

n = 24 x 100/40

After cancellation, we get

n = 60

Therefore,

Total matches played by the cricket team during the year(n)

= 60
