Tony needs 6 more hits in the seasons last week.

Answer 2

Answer: Tony must get 6 more hits in the seasons last week.

Explaination:

272 is the amount of hits that Tony started with.

During the second to last week of the season, Tony got 22 more.

272 + 22 = 294

Since Tony must get 300 hits by the last week,

300 - 294 = 6

Tony needs 6 more hits in the seasons last week.

Hope this helps! :)
