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;

$\text{Slugging Average=}\frac{(1\times S)+(2\times D)+(3\times T)+(4\times HR)}{AB}$

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;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Slugging Average=}\frac{(1\times154)+(2\times47)+(3\times35)+(4\times70)}{754} \\ \text{Slugging Average=}\frac{(154)+(94)+(105)+(280)}{754} \\ \text{Slugging Average=}\frac{633}{754} \\ \text{Slugging Average=}0.83952255\ldots \\ \text{Slugging Average}\approx0.839 \end{gathered}$

The fourth option is the correct answer
