Question

A local cricket team played 20 matches in one season. If it won 25% of them and lost rest
How many matches did it loose?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

matches they lose = total matches-matches they won

matches they won = 25/100x20

= 5 matches

matches they lose =20-5

=15 matches

Answer 2

Answer: Matches lost = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total no. of matches played = 20

Matches won = 25%

To find: Number of matches lost

Solution:

Total no. of matches played = 20

Matches won = 25%

$\implies No. \:of\:matches\:won=25%\:of\:20$

$\implies No.\:of\:matches\:won= \frac{25}{100}×20$

$\implies Matches\:won=\:5$

Now,

Matches lost = Total no. of matches played - total no. of matches won

$\implies$ Matches lost = 20 - 5 = 15

Hence, the local cricket team lost 15 matches.
