Answer 1

We have been given that a baseball player threw 82 strikes out of 103 pitches. We are asked to find the percentage of pitches that were strikes.

To solve our given problem, we need to find strikes are what percent of pitches.

`\text{Percentage of pitches that were strikes}=(82)/(103)* 100\%`

`\text{Percentage of pitches that were strikes}=0.7961165* 100\%`

`\text{Percentage of pitches that were strikes}=79.61165\%`

`\text{Percentage of pitches that were strikes}\approx 79.6\%`

Therefore, approximately
`79.6\%` of pitches were strikes.
