Let initally no. of played matches=x
won mathes=80% of x=(80/100)*x
after 5 mates more....
total matches played=x+5
won matches becomes=[(80/100)*x]+3
and at last % of lost matches=25%
so % of won matches=75%
thus....
(75/100)*(x+5)=[(80/100)*x]+3
By solving it...
we get x=15
thus total no of matches played=x+5=15+5=20
so ans=20
