Answer:

85%

Explanation:

When you want to figure out a percent, you need to take the number of successful outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. So, in this case, you would take 17/20, which is 0.85. Move the decimal place two times over to the right and you get 85, which is 85%.

Answer: The percent of the balls hit by Tj =85%

Explanation:

Given : Tj had 20 baseballs pitched to him.

He hit the ball 17 times .

Then, the percent of the balls hit by Tj will be :-


\frac{\text{Number of times he hit}}{\text{Total balls}}*100\\\\=(17)/(20)*100=85\%

Hence, the percent of the balls hit by Tj = 85%
