Question

a team won 8 rounds of an inner school quiz competition. if their winning percentage was 40%, how many rounds did they play in all?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let,the total round played be x

the team won 8 rounds

winning percentage of the team = 40% of the total rounds played

40% of x = 8

=>40/100*x=8

=>x=8x100/40

x=20

There are 20 rounds played in all in the quiz competition

Thank You

Answer 2

Given,

$No. \: of \: rounds \: the \: team \: won \: = 8$

$Their \: winning \: percentage = 40\%$

$Let \: the \: total \: no. \: of \: rounds \: be \: x$

$Then \: 40\% \: of \: x = 8$

$\frac{40}{100} x = 8$

$x = \frac{8 \times 100}{40 } = 20$

Therefore, the total no. of matches played is 20.
