Question

A football team plays a total of 30 matches in the league. If we know that it has lost in 3 10 of the matches and has taken 3 draws to find out how many matches he's lost.

Answer 1

The team lost 9 matches

Explanation:

Given

`Matches = 30`

`Lost = (3)/(10)` of the matches

`Draw = 3`

Required

Determine the number of matches lost

From the question, we have:

`Lost = (3)/(10)` of the matches

Mathematically, this is:

`Lost = (3)/(10) * Matches`

Substitute 30 for Matches

`Lost = (3)/(10) * 30`

`Lost = (3* 30)/(10)`

`Lost = (90)/(10)`

`Lost = 9`

The team lost 9 matches
