67.307...

#30xx25=750#

#100xx80=8000#

#8750/130=67.307...# total hits divided by total games

John's average hits per baseball game is calculated by dividing the total number of hits by the total number of games played.

Average hits per game = Total hits / Total games

Average hits per game = (80 hits - 25 hits) / (100 games - 30 games)

Average hits per game = 55 hits / 70 games

Average hits per game ≈ 0.786 hits per game
