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.
