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 1

Answer:

60 matches have been played in the current year so far

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage of matches won = 60%

=> percentage of matches lost = 40%

ie., 40%of total matches = 24            (as given)

let the total number of matches played during the year = x

so, we can write,

40 % of x = 24

=> (40/100) * x = 24

=> x = (24 * 10)/4

=> x = 6*10 = 60

=> No. of matches played during the year = 60 matches
