Question

A local cricket team played $20$ matches in one season. It won $25\%$ of them. How many matches did they won $?$

Answer 1

Finding no of matches team won:

Total number of cricket matches played by the team $=20$

Winning percentage $=25\%$

We have to determine the number of matches they won.

Total matches played by the cricket team $=20$

Percentage of matches won by the local team $=25\%$

Number of matches won by the team $=25\%of20$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{25}{100}\times 20 \\ =\frac{25}{5} \\ =5 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, team won $\mathbf{5}$ matches.
