Answer 1

Their performance got better, as they scored at least one goal in a higher percentage of matches.

Explanation:

Last year:

The team scored at least one goal in 65% of their matches.

This year:

This year they played 40 matches and scored at least one goal in 28 of them. So

28*100%/40 = 0.7*100% = 70%

This year the team scored at least one goal in 70% of their matches, which is a higher percentage(5% higher) than last year.

Has their performance got better or worse?

Their performance got better, as they scored at least one goal in a higher percentage of matches.
