At batting practice, tj had 20 baseballs pitched to him. he hit the ball 17 times. what percent of the balls pitched did tj hit?

Tj hit 85% of the balls pitched.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that he hit 17 out of the 20 baseballs pitches to him.

Thus the 100% is the 20 baseballs pitched. This can be represented in the following table:

Baseballs      Percentage

       20        ⇒    100%

and since we want to know what porcentage are the 17 balls hitted, we represent this unknown by x:

Baseballs      Percentage

       20        ⇒    100%

       17        ⇒      x

we solve this problem using rule of three, we must multiply the cross quantities in the table (100% by 17) and then divide by the remaining amount (20):

x = (100%)(17)/20 = 1700%/20 = 85%

Tj hit 85% of the balls pitched.
