Question

An athlete won $8$ events out of a number of events. If the win percentage was $40$, how many events were there in total?

Answer 1

We are given that win percentage is $40$. So,
$40$ events were won out of $100$ events.
$\Rightarrow 8$ events were won out of $\frac{100}{40}\times 8=20$ events.
Hence, there were $20$ events in total.
