Question

Kelly's team won 85% of the games they played in a season. The team lost 12 games. How many games did Kelly's team win in the season?

Answer 1

68 games

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Games won = 85%

Game lost = 12

Here, 100% - 85% = 12

15% = 12

or 1% = 0.8

So, total games played (100%) = 80 games

Now, number of games won = Total games - Games lost

= 80 - 12

= 68 games

Hence, Kelly's team wins 68 games in the season.
