Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Batting average = 0.25 after 160 times at bat;

Batting Average = Number of hits / number of times at bat

0.25 = number of hits / 160

Number of hits = 0.25 * 160 = 40

He want batting average to improve to 0.333 ; if he makes hit the next x times at bat ; number of hits is needed to improve batting average

Hence,

New average = number of hits / number of times at bat

0.333 = (number of hits + x) / (160 + x)

0.333 = (40 + x) / (160 + x)
