Answer:


\boxed{33\, \%}

Explanation:

For every three games Chloe's team played, they won two and lost one.


\text{Percent of games lost} = \frac{\text{games lost}}{\text{total games}} * 100 \, \% = (1)/(3)* 100\, \% =\mathbf{ 33\, \%}\\\\\text{Chloe's team lost $\boxed{\mathbf{ 33\, \%}}$ of its games}
