Club A has won 30% of the first 60 matches played in a season. So how many additional minimum matches should Club A play to achieve a 44% success rate in that season?
Given:
Club A won 30% of 60 matches.
Target success rate = 44%
Formula Used:
Success rate = × 100
Solution:
Matches won initially = × 60 = 18
Let x be the minimum additional matches to be played.
To minimize the number, assume Club A wins all these x matches.
Total matches played = 60 + x
Total matches won = 18 + x
25(18 + x) = 11(60 + x)
450 + 25x = 660 + 11x
14x = 210
x = = 15
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (a)
