Question

a football team won 10 games from the total they played this was 40% of the total how many games were they played

Answer 1

25 games were played

Explanation:

the number of games played is 100%

let x be the number of games played

Then by proportion

`(40)/(100)` =
`(10)/(x)` ( cross- multiply )

40x = 1000 ( divide both sides by 40 )

x = 25

That is 25 games were played.
