A particular football team won 10 matches out of all the total number of matches they played. If their winning percentage was 40 %, how many matches did they play?

Solution

Let the total number of matches played be x.
The team won around 10 matches, and the team’s winning percentage was 40%.
40/100 × x = 10
40x = 10 × 100
40x = 1000
x = 1000/40
= 100/4
= 2
Hence, the team played 25 matches.
