Answer 1

Answer:

The slugging percentage (SLG) for the baseball player is 0.780

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the SLG or slugging percentage for the baseball player, this way:

Home-runs = 3  * 4 = 12

Triples = 7  * 3 = 21

Doubles = 11 * 2 = 22

Singles = 16 * 1 = 16

Outs = 54 * 0 = 0

Total At Bats = 3 + 7 + 11 + 16 + 54 = 91

SLG = (12 + 21 + 22 + 16 + 0)/91

SLG = 71/91 = 0.780

The slugging percentage (SLG) for the baseball player is 0.780
