Answer:

$\huge{\underline{ \mathfrak \purple{Answer⤵}}}$

$\boxed{ \tt \red{25 \: matches.}}$

$\huge {\underline{\mathfrak \purple{Solution:}}}$

Let us assume that the total number of matches they played is $x$ matches.

Their win percentage was 40

So, they won total $\tt \red{\frac{40}{100}\times x) \ matches = 0.4x \ matches}$

As given, football team won 10 matches out of the total number of matches

Hence,

$\tt \purple{0.4x = 10}$

$\tt \purple{x = \frac{10}{0.4}= 25}$

• So, they have played total 25 matches.
