Question

The pirates football team has played 75% of its games so far this seasons. If the team has played 9 games, how many games are there in the season?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The pirates football team has played 75% of its games so far this seasons.

Which can also be written as 0.75.

The number of games played by team =9

Let x be the number of games are there in the season.

Then according to the question, we have

$0.75x=9\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{9}{0.75}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=12$

Hence, there are total 12 games in this season.

Answer 2

First, you must determine how to write the problem

9 is 75% of what number?

9 = 75% * x

75% is the same as 0.75

9 = 0.75x

Now divide 9 by 0.75

9/0.75 = x

12 = x

There are 12 games in a season!

Hope that helps!
