Question 4
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 be x.
According to the question,
40% of total matches = 10
$40\%ofx=10$
$\Rightarrow \frac{40}{100}\times x=10$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{10\times 100}{40}=25$
Hence total number of matches are 25.
