5 is left 
therefore
 20-5=15

Answer 2

Answer:

It loose 15 matches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total matches = 20

They won 25 % Matches

No. of matches won = $25\% \times 20$

                                 =$\frac{25}{100} \times 20$

                                 = 5

So, number of matches lost = Total no. of matches - No. of matches won

                                              = 20 - 5

                                              = 15

Hence it loose 15 matches
