Question: A tennis player won 20% of the games he played. Find the total number of games played by him if he won 10 games.


A ) 50
B ) 52
C ) 47
D ) 49

Steps to derive

1 Let n be the total number of games he played.

 [Write proportion.]
2 20100 = 10n

 [Write the cross product.]
3 n x 20 = 10 x 100

 [Divide both side by 20.]
4 n = (10x100)20

 [Simplify.]
5 n = 50

6 Total number of games that he played = 50.



Hence the right answer is Option A
