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?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let total matches be `x`.
Matches won `=10`
Win percent `=text{Matches won}/text{Total matches played}`
`40%=10/x`
`=>40/100=10/x`
`=>x=frac{10×100}{40}=25`
Thus, total matches played are `25`.
