805%
To find the percentage of matches the tennis player lost, we can subtract the percentage of matches she won from 100%.
First, let's find the percentage of matches she won. Given that she won 0.805 (or 80.5%) of the matches, we can say:
Percentage of matches won = 80.5%
To find the percentage of matches lost, we can subtract the percentage of matches won from 100%:
Percentage of matches lost = 100% - 80.5%
= 19.5%
Therefore, the tennis player lost 19.5% of the matches she played.
