Answer 1

A

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of more home runs needed to be hit by the Bombers team to mark an increase of 15% up from

last year.

To get the number of more runs, we simply find the amount of percentage increase

That would be 15/100 * 360 = 54

Hence, they would be hitting 54 more home runs to reflect the 15% increase in the number of home runs
