Dakota wants to beat the record for the most runs batted in in a baseball season. This season, he has 32 runs batted in. If he gets 2 runs batted in at each of the last 13 games, he will miss breaking the record by 3 runs. How many total runs are needed to break the record?

Respuesta :

Answer:

29 runs are needed to break the record.

Step-by-step explanation:

He has 32 runs batted in.

If he gets 2 runs batted in at each of the last 13 games, he will have:

32 + 2*13 = 32 + 26 = 58

He will have 58 runs batted in.

He will miss the record by 3.

So the record is 61.

He has 32 and will need 61-32 = 29 runs to break the record.
