A cricket team has won 40 games out of 60 played. It has 32 more games to play. How many of these must the team win to make it record 70% win for the season?

Question: A cricket team has won 40 games out of 60 played. It has 32 more games to play. How many of these must the team win to make it record 70% win for the season?

Solution:
Given that,
Games won = 40
Games played = 60
Remaining games = 32
Therefore,

Total games for the season = 60 + 32 = 92
To record a 70% win rate, the team must win = 70% of 92
= (70/100) × 92
= 64.4
Since the number of games won must be a whole number, the team needs at least 65 wins.
Already won = 40 games.

Therefore, additional wins required = 65 - 40 = 25
