The team has won $$28$$ out of $$32$$ games.

1. Write the fraction of games won:
   $$
   \frac{28}{32}
   $$

2. Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by $$4$$:
   $$
   \frac{28 \div 4}{32 \div 4} = \frac{7}{8}
   $$

3. Convert the simplified fraction to a decimal by dividing $$7$$ by $$8$$:
   $$
   \frac{7}{8} = 0.875
   $$

4. Convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by $$100$$:
   $$
   0.875 \times 100 = 87.5\%
   $$

Thus, the hockey team has won $$87.5\%$$ of their games.
The hockey team has won 87.5% of their games.
