Answer: The LA Dodgers hit 35 home runs, approximately.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the approximate number of home runs that the LA Dodgers hit.
You know that a total of 583 home runs were hit, so this number represents the 100% of the entire Major League Baseball home run count.
Knowing that the number of home runs that were hit by the LA Dodgers represents the 6%, you can write the following proportion:
[tex]\frac{583}{100}=\frac{x}{6}[/tex]
Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 6, you get the following result:
[tex](\frac{583}{100})(6)=(\frac{x}{6})(6)\\\\x=34.98\\\\x\approx35[/tex]
