Question

Advertisements
Solution
Number of Matches won = 70
Number of Matches lost = 28
“No result” Matches = 2
Total Matches = 70 + 28 + 2 = 100
Percentage of Matches won = `70/100 xx 100%` = 70%
They won 70% of the matches

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays. For example, if you apply sunscreen with SPF 15, you get 1 minute of UV rays for every 15 minutes you stay in the sun.
A label on a sunscreen with SPF 30 claims that the sunscreen blocks about 97% of harmful UV rays. Assuming the SPF factor is accurate, is this claim true? Explain.
