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

Answer:

Total games played = 25

Step-by-step 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

                                                                 = $\frac{36}{100}\times x$

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

$\frac{36}{100}\times x=9$

x = $\frac{9}{0.36}$

x = 25

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