Question

In Game 1, Emerson struck out 30 times in 90 times at bat. In Game 2, he struck out 40 times in 120 times at bat. In Game 3, Emerson struck out 42 times in 140 times at bat. What percentage of times at bat did Emerson actually hit the ball?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of strikeouts:

• 30 + 40 + 42 = 112

Total number of at bats:

• 90 + 120 + 140 = 350

Hits = times - strikeouts:

• 350 - 112 = 238

Percentage:

• 238/352*100% = 67.61%
