Question

A football team won 22 games and tied 2. This was 60% of its season. How many games did the team lose?

A. 12
B. 10
C. 6
D. 16

Answer 1

22 + 2 = 24

24 x 0.6 = 14

The Lost 14 Games!

Answer 2

22 + 2 = 0.6 x where x = number of games in the season

0.6x = 24

x = 24 / 0.6 = 40 games

So the number of games lost = 40 - 24

= 16 games (answer)
