Answer: Second Option

[tex]\frac{x}{3x-4} = \frac{20}{80}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The baseball team is composed of bats and balls.

Call x the number of bats and call z the number of balls.

Then we know that:

The number of baseballs is four less than three times the number of bats.

This is:

[tex]z = 3x-4[/tex]      (I)

Then we know that the team is 80% baseballs

This is:

[tex]\frac{x}{z} = \frac{0.2}{0.8}[/tex]    (II)

We substitute the first equation in the second and we have:

[tex]\frac{x}{3x-4} = \frac{0.2}{0.8}\\\\\frac{x}{3x-4} = \frac{20}{80}[/tex]
