Answer 1

Answer:

B. 85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Game 1 = 30 times in 90 times at bat

Game 2 = 40 times in 120 times at bat

Game 3 = 42 times in 140 times at bat

Total strike outs = (30 + 40 + 42) = 112

Total time at bat = (90 + 120 + 140) = 350

Total hits = total time at bats - total strike outs

Total hits = 350 - 112 = 238

Percentage hits :

(Total hits / total time at bats) * 100%

(238 / 350) * 100%

0.68 * 100%

= 68%
