Question

A football team played 30 matches in one season and won 40% of them. Find the
number of matches they won? Answer pls

Answer 1

let the number of matches played be x

Now , 40% of x + 12 = x

40/100x - x = - 12

-60 /100 x = -12

x = -12 × 100 / -60

x = 20

Answer 2

Answer:

In one season, the total number of football matches won by the football team calculated is $12$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

In one season, the given number of the football matches played by the football team= $30$

The number of matches won by the football team = $40\%$ of total matches

In one season, the total number of football matches won by the football team =? ( $x$ )

Now, according to the statement of the question, the equation we get is:

• $40\%$ of $30$ = $x$
• $x = \frac{40}{100} \times 30$
• $x = 12$

Hence, in one season, the total number of football matches won by the football team = $12$.
