Answer 1

Answer:

$\sf \green {\therefore \: No. \: of \: matches \: won \: = 5 \: matches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total no. of matches played in one season = 20

% of matches won = 25%

$\sf No. \: of \: matches \: won = \frac{25}{ { \cancel{100}}_{5}} \times \cancel{20}$

$\sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ \cancel{25}}{ \cancel{5}} = 5 \: matches$

Answer 2

Answer:

The cricket team won 5 matches out of 20 matches they played.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cricket team played 20 matches in one season. Also, 25%  of matches they won. So we need to find what is 25% of the number 20.

25% of 20 $= \frac{25}{100}\times 20 = \frac{1}{4}\times 20= 5$

So they won 5 matches in the season.
