Question

the new york rangers hockey team won 3/4 of their games last season. If they lost 21 games, how many games did they play in the entire season?

Answer 1

1÷4=21
therefor,3÷4=21×3
=63
total match played =84

Answer 2

Answer:

The total games are 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of games,

The numbers of games they won = 3/4 of the total games

⇒ The numbers of games they lost = 1/4 of the total games

= 1/4 x

According to the question,

$\frac{1}{4}x=21$

$x=84$

Hence, the total games are 84.
