Question

The LA Dodgers hit the most home runs in 2014. The number of home runs accounted for 6% of the entire Major League Baseball home run count. If 583 total home runs were hit, then approximately how many did the LA Dodgers hit?

Answer 1

Approximately 35 home runs

Explanation:

we know that

`6\%=6/100=0.06`

To find out how many home runs the LA Angeles Dodgers hit, multiply the total home runs by 0.06

so

`583(0.06)=34.98\ home-runs`

therefore

Approximately 35 home runs
