Success rate?
8
10

15

Answer 1

Total number of matches need to win = 15

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of race completed = 45

Total races win = 30

Success rate = 75% = 0.75

Find:

Total number of matches need to win

Computation:

Assume, extra number of matches = y

Extra number of win matches = x

So,

(30 + x) / (45 + y) = 0.75

Assume y = x

So,

(30 + x) / (45 + x) = 0.75

30 + x = 33.75 + 0.75 x

x = 15

Total number of matches need to win = 15
