3. 70%
4. 72%
5. 74% ...?

Answer 1

Answer:  Option '4' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of games =50

Firstly, he played 20 games.

Percentage of games they won = 60%

Number of games they won is given by

$\dfrac{60}{100}\times 20\\\\=0.6\times 20\\\\=12$

Remaining number of games = 50-20=30

Percentage of remaining games they won = 80%

So, number of games they won is given by

$\dfrac{80}{100}\times 30\\\\=0.8\times 30\\\\=24$

So, total number of games they won is given by

12+24 = 36

So, Percentage of games they won for the entire season will be

$\dfrac{36}{50}\times 100\\\\=36\times 2\\\\=72\%$

Hence, Option '4' is correct.
