Question

Malcolm plays for the NY Mets and is the MVP he has twice as many home runs as triples his total at-bats is 754 he has 154 singles and 47 doubles and 35 triples. What is malcolms slugging average?

Answer 1

In order to answer this question, we shall apply the following formula;

`\text{Slugging Average=}((1* S)+(2* D)+(3* T)+(4* HR))/(AB)`

The singles is given as 154

The doubles is given as 47

The triples is given as 35

The homeruns is given as 70 (twice of the triples)

At-bats is 754.

Therefore, we now have the known values and we insert them into the formula as shown below;

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slugging Average=}((1*154)+(2*47)+(3*35)+(4*70))/(754) \\ \text{Slugging Average=}((154)+(94)+(105)+(280))/(754) \\ \text{Slugging Average=}(633)/(754) \\ \text{Slugging Average=}0.83952255\ldots \\ \text{Slugging Average}\approx0.839 \end{gathered}`

The fourth option is the correct answer
