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,

`40/100` × x = 10

x = 10 × `100/40`

x = 25

Thus, the team played 25 matches.
