Answer 1

73.0769230769% of the games were won

Answer 2

Answer: 78.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The championship record for baseball in a certain year was 52 games won, 14 lost.

i.e. Total games played = 52+14=66

Now, the percent of the games were won will be :-

$\dfrac{\text{Number of games won}}{\text{Total games played}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{52}{66}\times100=78.7878787879\approx78.79\%$

Hence, the percent of the games were won = 78.79%
