Question

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

Answer 1

The answer is 35.

Explanation:

Answer 2

To answer the question, we will need to find the 6% (the home runs of the LA Dodgers) of 583 (the entire Major League Baseball home run count).
To do that, first we are going to divide 6% by 100% to convert it to a fraction and get rid of the percentage signs :

`(6)/(100)`
Now we can multiply our fraction by the entire Major League Baseball home run count to get the home runs of the Dodgers:

`(6)/(100) (583)= ((6)(583))/(100)= (3498)/(100)=34.98`

We can conclude that the LA Dodgers hit approximately 35 home runs.
