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\%](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/jsijtvp35gpjagrbvo2jfes6xg7hea61ev.png)
We can then transform this percentage to decimal by dividing it by 100%:
![P(L)=(48\%)/(100\%)=0.48](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/wnas7knxq9y7an9fq9orzligcnx8xunucy.png)
Answer: the chances of losing the game, expressed as decimal, is 0.48.
