Question 7717: In baseball a player's average is the ratio of hits to the number of times he or she has batted. Thus, if the player has an average of .300, it means he or she got 300 hits in 1000 at bats. In order to have an average of .300, how many hits would the batter have to get in 400 times at bat?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
hits%2Fbatted+=+0.3 if batted is 400, we have:
hits%2Fbatted+=+hits%2F400+=+0.3
hits%2F400+=+0.3 multiply both sides by 400
hits+=+0.3%2A400+=+120
that's your answer, hits = 120.
