The LA Dodgers hit the most homeruns in 2014. The number of homeruns accounted for 6% of the entire Major League Baseball home run count. If 583 total home runs were hit, approximately how many did the LA Dodgers hit?

To answer the question, we will need to find the 6% (the home runs of the LA Dodgers) of 583 (the entire Major League Baseball home run count). 
To do that, first we are going to divide 6% by 100% to convert it to a fraction and get rid of the percentage signs :
[tex] \frac{6}{100} [/tex]
Now we can multiply our fraction by the entire Major League Baseball home run count to get the home runs of the Dodgers:
[tex] \frac{6}{100} (583)= \frac{(6)(583)}{100}= \frac{3498}{100}=34.98 [/tex]

We can conclude that the LA Dodgers hit approximately 35 home runs.
