Buster Posey of the Giants pounded 120 hits out of 375 at-bats, his hits consisted of 15 doubles, 8 triples, and 12 homeruns. What was his slugging average? (dont forget the singles)choices:A. 0.499B. 0.539C. 0.352D. 0.847

Respuesta :

We have the following:

s is single

d is double

t is triple

h is homerun

hits is the total

h = s + d + t+ h

s = h - d - t - h

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{SLG}=\frac{1\cdot s+2\cdot d+3\cdot t+4\cdot h}{AB} \\ s=120-15-8-12=85 \\ \text{SLG}=\frac{1\cdot85+2\cdot15+3\cdot8+4\cdot12}{375}=0.499 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is the option A
