Question

A football team won \(10\) matches out of the total number of matches they played. If their win percentage was \(40\), then how many matches did they play in all?

Answer 1

Let the total number of matches played by the team be \(x\).
It is given that the team won \(10\) matches and the winning percentage of the team was \(40\) %.
Therefore,
\(\frac{40}{100}× x = 10\)

\(x = 10 × \frac{100}{40}\)
\(x = 25\)

Thus, the team played \(25\) matches.
