Question

The LA dodgers hit the most home runs in 2014. The number of Home runs accounted for 6% of the entire major league baseball home run count. If 583 total Home runs were hit, then how many did the LA dodgers hit

Answer 1

For these types of problems you would just need to multiple the total amount by the percentage so in this case you would just do 583 times 6% or 583 times 0.06 which gets you 34.98 but you need to round down in this case since you can’t have a fraction of a home run so the answer would be 34.
