As given

Salem High School's winter sports teams WON 72% of their games last season.

If the teams played 50 games .

Percentage = 72%

Total value = 50

Put in the formula

`72 = (Number\ of\ games\ win* 100)/(50)`

`Number\ of\ games\ win = (72* 50)/(100)`

Number of games win = 36

Number of games teams loses = Total number of games - number of games win

= 50 - 36

= 14

Therefore the number of games team loses are 14 .
