Question 56758
Solve and Check:

In baseball a player's batting average is the ratio of hits to the number of times he or she has batted. Thus, if the player has an average of .3000, 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?
batting average=(hits)/(times batted)
your batting average =.300
times batted=400
hits=x
{{{.300=x/400}}}
{{{(400)(.300)=400x/400}}}
{{{120=x}}}
check:
{{{.300=120/400}}}
{{{.300=.300}}} We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
