In baseball a players 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 .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?

Question

anonymous · Answer

first we see that 
.300=3/10    (or 30%)
than you just have to multiply this with 400 to get the answer
400*3/10=120

anonymous · Answer

120% or what

anonymous · Answer

120 times he needs to hit from 400 to get an average of 30% or 0.300
