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

Answer:

If 10 matches are won by a football team and their win percentage was 40, then total number of matches they played is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of matches the football team won = 10

Let the total number of matches they played = N

Given win percentage = 40

Win percentage = ( Number of matches won/ total number of matches played )*100

That is,

$40=\frac{10}{N} *100\\\\N= \frac{10*100}{40} \\\\N= \frac{100}{4} \\\\= 25$

So the total matches they played is 25
