Answer:

Percentage decrease = 16

Explanation:

Number of games won last year = 50

Number of games won this year = 42

We need to find the percentage decrease in number of games won this year compared to last year:

% decrease =
$(Decrease\ in\ number\ of\ games\ won)/(Number\ of\ games\ won\ last\ year)*100$

=
(50-42)/(50)*100=16

Hence percentage decrease is 16.
