The chance of winning a game is 52%.

As the sum of chances of winning the game and losing the game is 100%, we can calculate the chances of losing by substracting 52% from 100%:


P(L)=100\%-52\%=48\%

We can then transform this percentage to decimal by dividing it by 100%:


P(L)=(48\%)/(100\%)=0.48

Answer: the chances of losing the game, expressed as decimal, is 0.48.
