Answer 1

Answer:they win 12 more matches in the second year

Explanation:

Each year, the team plays a total of 120 matches. In its first year the team wins 45% of its matches. This means that the total number of matches that the team won in the first year is

45/100/× 120 = 54

The 2nd year ,the team wins 55% out of 120 matches. This means that the total number of matches that the team won in the second year is

55/100/× 120 = 66

Number of matches for the second year - number of matches for the first leg is 66 - 54 = 12
