The Solution:

The pirates took 98 games.

They lost 64 games out of the 98 games.

This means that they won:


98-64=34\text{ games}

We are asked the percentage closest to the winning percentage.

The winning percentage is:


(34)/(98)*100=34.694\approx35\text{\%}

Therefore, the closest percentage of the given options to the winning percentage is 40%
