# Word problem - How many times was the player at bat during the entire season?

Its the first time I am asking a question on a forum. I have been self-studying math for a month and now am stuck in word problem chapter. I searched a lot for a solution manual, but I didn't find any.

Book: College Algebra by M.A. Munem

How to solve the question below?

Help will be appreciated.

QUESTION:

In baseball, a player’s batting average is found by dividing the number of safe hits by the number of times at bat. A certain player got $$50$$ safe hits in his first $$200$$ times at bat in the baseball season. He hits $$0.300$$ for the rest of the season and finishes with a season average of $$0.280$$. How many times was the player at bat during the entire season?
