Question

Last season a baseball play hit 48 home runs. So far this season he has hit 30 home runs. The number of home runs he has hit so far this season is what percent of the number f home runs he hit last season?

Answer 1

Answer:

The home runs hit this season is 62.5% of the home runs hit last season.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Runs hit last season = 48

Runs hit this season so far = 30

So, in order to find the percentage of home runs hit this season so far compared to the last season, we need to divide the home runs hit this season by that of the last season and then express the result as a percentage by multiplying the fraction with 100.

Therefore,

Percentage of home runs scored this season is given as:

$Percent=\dfrac{\textrm{Home runs this season}}{\textrm{Home runs last season}}\times 100\\\\\\Percent=\frac{30}{48}\times 100\\\\Percent=0.625\times 100\\\\Percent=62.5\%$

Therefore, the home runs hit this season is 62.5% of the home runs hit last season.
