You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This says that 10 games is 40% of all
the games they played
Let +x+ = the total of the games they played
+10+=+.4x+
+x+=+10%2F.4+
+x+=+100%2F4+
+x+=+25+
So, the team played 25 games total
---------------------------------
Is the problem " how many games did they win?"
or is it "How many games did they play?"
