Question

Sally's soccer team won 68% of the games they played.if they won 17 games, how many did they play?

Answer 1

Let the number of games played be x. 68% of x comes out to 17 games.

Then 0.68x = 17. Mult. both sides by 100: 68x = 1700.

Divide 68 into 1700 to obtain x, the number of games played: x = 25

The team plays in 25 games.

Answer 2

Answer: The total number of games played are 25

Explanation:

Let the total number of games played be 'x'

We are given:

Number of games won = 17

Percentage of games won = 68 %

Calculating the total number of games:

`68\% \text{ of x}=17`

So,

`(68)/(100)* x=17\\\\x=(17* 100)/(68)=25`

Hence, the total number of games played are 25
