    The win percentage decreased by 10%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First you need to fin the total games played right before Melissa got Injured

    41+23=64

    Then you need to find the win percentage by making a fraction of wins over total games

    wins/total games = 41/64 = 64%

    Then you need to find the number of games played after Melissa got injured

    54-41 = 13 wins

    34-23 = 11 losses

    13+11 = 24 total games played without Melissa

    You find that win percentage similarly to the first time

    wins/total games = 13/24 = 54%

    Then you find the difference in the percentages and there you have it!

    64% - 54% = 10%

    It decreased as well therefore the answer is ...

    It decreased by 10%
