Question

Lisa played 42 of thepossible 60 minutes of asoccer game. Whatpercent did she notplay?

Answer 1

Lisa played 42 minutes of a 60 minutes match. This means that she didn't play 18 minutes of the game; to find what percent this represents we can use the rule of three:

`\begin{gathered} 60\rightarrow100 \\ 18\rightarrow x \end{gathered}`

Then:

`\begin{gathered} x=(18\cdot100)/(60) \\ =30 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Lisa didn't play 30% of the game.
