Question

Updated Batting Averages are computed using the formula: A= (B+K) over G

•A = batting average
•B = times at bat multiplied by player’s seasonal average
•K = hits in the new game
•G = times at bat plus times at bat in a new game

solve A= (B + K) over G

Use your new formula and the values given in the table below to find the player’s hits in a new game (K). Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

a = (b + k) / g
Multiply both sides by g:
a*g = b + k
Subtract b from both sides
(a*g) - b = k

For George, k = (0.319)(46) - 10.7 = 3.974 = 4 to the nearest whole number.

This is just arithmetic now. You can do it as well as I.
