Question

A local cricket team played 20 matches in one season . it won 25 per cent of them. how many matches did they win​

Answer 1

$\frac{25}{100 } \times 20 = 5$

The team won 5 matches.

Answer 2

Here the total number of matches played by the local team is given to be 20

Out of these 20 matches, the team won 25% of the matches

We have to find the number of matches won

So, we will have to find 25% of 20

25% of 20 = (25/100) × 20

                 = 5

Hence, the local team won 5 matches out of 20
