Question

in the 2009 - 2010 baseball season, dylan hit the ball 48 out of the 60 times that he was up to bat. the rest of the time, he struck out. approximately what percent did dylan strike out? 80% 50% 30% 20%

Explanation:

Step1: Find strike - out times

Total at - bat times = 60, hit times = 48. So strike - out times = 60 - 48 = 12.

Step2: Calculate strike - out percentage

The formula for percentage is $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Strike - out times}}{\text{Total at - bat times}}\times100\%$. Substitute the values: $\frac{12}{60}\times100\% = 0.2\times100\% = 20\%$.

Answer:

20%
