Answer 2

we know that
the probability of the Galaxy team winning is 22%------> 0.22
the probability of the Galaxy team losing is 100%-22%----> 78%-----> 0.78

the probability of the Komets team winning is 47%------> 0.47
the probability of the Komets team losing is 100%-47%----> 53%-----> 0.53

therefore
the probability of the comets losing their race and the galaxy winning theirs is
0.53*0.22=0.1166------> 11.66%

the answer is
11.66%
