The number of matches that the team needs to win for the team to have a 55% success rate is approximately 16 matches.

The tennis team has played 28 matches so far. If they've won 10 matches.

The percentage of matches won so far can be computed as follows:

  • If 28 matches = 100%
  • 10 matches = x %
  • x = (10×100)/28
  • x = 35%

So, we are left to determine (55% - 35% = 20%) the remaining 20% success rate;

Again:

  • 28 = 100%
  • x matches = 20%
  • x = 5.6 matches

Thus, the total number of matches to be won to have a 55% success rate is:

= 10 matches + 5.6 matches

= 15.6 matches

≅ 16 matches

Therefore, we can conclude that the total number of matches that the team needs to win for the team to have a 55% success rate is 16 matches.
