Answer:

11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Shaun's percentage of winning against Mike is 8/11 or 73%

Shaun's percentage of winning against Tim is 7/12 or 58%

Shaun's percentage of losing against Mike is 100-73 = 27%

Shaun's percentage of losing against Tim is 100-58 = 42%

Shaun's percentage of losing against Mike and Tim is .27 x .42 which is approximately 11%
