If highlight%28NOT%29 all 162 games were played, having 63 wins and 49 losses, their WinningPercentage is: 63%2F%2863%2B49%29=0.5625
Now, if highlight%28ALL%29 162 games are played and having the SAME WinningPercentage, their final record would have been:
0.5625%2A162=91.125 ----------------> round off, 91 WINS
Total games - Wins=Losses :162-91=71 ------> 71 losses
Hope that helps.
thank you,
