Answer 1

The data given are the number of games played and the number of games won out of the total played. if the team won 51 out of 68 games, the it means;

`\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage won=}(51)/(68)*100 \\ \text{Percentage won=}(3)/(4)*100 \\ \text{Percentage won=75} \end{gathered}`

The team won 75 percent of their games. On a bar chart/diagram, the number of games won would occupy three-quarters of the length of the bar representing the total games played.
