Question

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

Answer 1

$${\textbf{Step - 1: Writing given things}}$$

$${\text{Total number of matches = 20}}$$

$${\text{Percentage of matches won by them = 25% }}$$

$${\textbf{Step - 2: Calculating number of matches won}}$$

$${\text{Number of matches won = 25% of total number of matches}}$$

$${\text{Number of matches won = 25% of 20}}$$

$${\text{Number of matches won = }}\dfrac{{{\text{25}}}}{{{\text{100}}}}{\text{ }} \times {\text{ 20}}$$

$${\text{Number of matches won = 5}}$$

$${\textbf{Thus, the team won 5 matches}}$$
