Answer:

57%

Explanation:

To calculate a percentage, you simply take the amount being measured, divide it by the total amount available, and multiply by 100.

So in this case the percentage won would be 100 × 6 ÷ 14.  What we want to know though is the percentage lost.  That would instead be:

100 × (14 - 6) ÷ 14

= 100 × 8 ÷ 14

= 100 × 4 ÷ 7

≈ 100 × 0.57

≈ 57

So Emma missed approximately 57% of her attempts.
