Final answer:

The Orlando Magic lost 60 games in the 2021-2022 season. The percentage of games they lost is approximately 73% when rounded to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Orlando Magic played a total of 82 games during the 2021-2022 season and won 22 games. To find out how many games they lost, you subtract the number of games won from the total number of games played:

  1. Total games played = 82
  2. Games won = 22
  3. Games lost = Total games - Games won = 82 - 22 = 60 games lost.

To calculate the percentage of games lost, you use the formula:

  1. Percent of games lost = (Games lost / Total games) x 100%
  2. Percent of games lost = (60 / 82) x 100%
  3. Percent of games lost ≈ 73.17%
  4. Round to the nearest whole number: 73%.

Answer: 73% games were lost.

If they played 82 games and only won 22 this means that 60 was lost.

82-22=60. To find the percent that they lost, we divide 60 into 82.

60//82 is 0.731707317. We must round to the nearest whole, which means our percent will be 73%.

This means that the Orlando Magic lost 73% of the games they played in the 2021-2022 season.

I hope this helped & Good Luck <3!!
