Question

a highschool basketball game won 36 percent of the games that it played last season the team won exactly 9 games last season what is the total number of games that the team played

Answer 1

Total games played = 25

Explanation:

Percentage games won by the basketball team = 36%

Exact number of games won by the team = 9

Let the total games played by the team = x

Therefore, total number of games won = 36% of x

=
`(36)/(100)* x`

Equation which represents the games won by the team will be,

`(36)/(100)* x=9`

x =
`(9)/(0.36)`

x = 25

Therefore, total games played by the basketball team are 25.
