Question

Bigcity United played thirty games last season. They won 60% of these. How many games did they lose?

Answer 1

Bigcity United lost 12 games.

Explanation:

Since you know the percentage of games Bigcity United won, first you need to determine the percentage of games that they lose by subtracting the percentage of games they won from 100%:

100%-60%=40%

Now, you know that they lost 40% of the games and you can calculate 40% of the number of games they played last season:

30*40%=12

According to this, the answer is that Bigcity United lost 12 games.
