Omar has 32 hits in 128 times at bat. He wants his batting average to be .300. His current average is 32/128 or .250. How many at bats does Omar need to reach his goal if he gets a hit in each of his next b at bats?
--------------
(32 + x)/(128 + x) = 0.3
x + 32 = 0.3*(x + 128) = 0.3x + 38.4
0.7x = 6.4
x = 9.14 --> 10 hits
--------
10 hits --> 304
9 hits --> 299
