Slugging percentage is simply total bases divided by number of at-bats... technically it isn't a percentage as such, it is a kind of batting average which is weighted to give more credit to extra-base hits, which is why it is used as a measure of power. If every base hit you have is a single, then your slugging percentage will be identical to your batting average; at the other extreme, if every hit you have is a home run then your slugging percentage will be 4 times your batting average.
