Mathematics Question on Recalling Ratios and Percentages

A football team won 1010 matches out of the total number of matches they played. If their win percentage was 4040, then how many matches did they play in all?

Answer

Let the total number of matches played by the team be xx.
It is given that the team won 1010 matches and the winning percentage of the team was 4040 %.
Therefore,
40100×x=10\frac{40}{100}× x = 10

x=10×10040x = 10 × \frac{100}{40}
x=25x = 25

Thus, the team played 2525 matches.
