rohan  (9 years ago)

say, total games played be x.
now initially 80% games are won,so games won=4x/5
and games lost=x/5
later,5 more games are played out of which two r lost nd three are won
so total no of games=x+5,won=4x/5+3 and lost=x/5+2
also lost % changes by 25% i.e it becomes 25%
so,x+10/5(x+5)*100=25
and so,x=15

Before 5 games team lost 20% of the games so ,suppose total games played be x
so lost=x/5 and after 5 games it will become 25% so ,lost =25%(x+5)=(x+5)/4;
so,(x+5)/4-x/5=2;
so x=15;

Let total number of games initially played be n
Team won 80% of the games => Lost games = 20% of n = n/5
After that they played 5 more games in which they lost 2
Now their loss
(n+5)×25/100 = n/5 + 2
n=15
Therefore total games the team played=15+5 = 20
