Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the no. of matches played

40x/100=x-12

40x=100x-1200

1200=100-40x

1200=60x

1200/60=x

20=x

no. of match is 20

Answer 2

The total number of matches played by team during the year is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A cricket team won 40% of the total number of matches it's played during a year

So, Percentage of matches lost = 100% - 40% = 60%

Let the total number of matches be x

So, No. of matches lost = 60%x=0.6x

We are given that It is lost 12 matches

So, 0.6x = 12

x = 12/0.6

x = 20

Hence the total number of matches played by team during the year is 20
