Question

A baseball team batted 250 times during the season. During the season they got 120 hits, 60 strikeouts, 50 flyouts and 20 groundouts. What percent of the time that they batted did they make an out?

Answer 1

Answer: 52%

Explanation:

The team batted 250 times. In that time, they got 60 strikeouts, 50 flyouts and 20 groundouts.

The total number of out they got was therefore:

= 60 + 50 + 20

= 130 outs

The percent of the time they got outs out of the total is:

= 130/250

= 52%
