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, $\frac{40}{100}\times x=10$

$\Rightarrow x=10\times \frac{100}{40}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{100}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x=25$

Thus, the team played $25$ matches.
