Question

The springfield sluggers won 64% of their games and lost 9 games. how many games did the sluggers win?​

Answer 1

Answer: 16 games.

Explanation:

Let x denotes the total games springfield sluggers played.

Given : The springfield sluggers won 64% of their games.

i.e. The number of games sluggers won = 64% of x =0.64x [64%=0.64]

Also , he lost 9 games .

Now , Total games they played= Games won + games lost

`x=0.64x+9`

`x-0.64x=9`

`0.36x=9`

`x=(9)/(0.36)=(900)/(36)=25`

i..e Total games they played= 25

Then, Number of games the sluggers won = 25-9=16

Hence, the sluggers won 16 games.
