To find the slugging percentage (SLG) for Nelson Cruz, we use the formula:

\[
SLG = \frac{(1 \times S) + (2 \times D) + (3 \times T) + (4 \times HR)}{AB}
\]

where:
- \( S = \text{Singles} = 71 \)
- \( D = \text{Doubles} = 31 \)
- \( T = \text{Triples} = 3 \)
- \( HR = \text{Home runs} = 22 \)
- \( AB = \text{At bats} = 399 \)

Now, let's substitute the values into the formula:

\[
SLG = \frac{(1 \times 71) + (2 \times 31) + (3 \times 3) + (4 \times 22)}{399}
\]

Calculating the numerator:

\[
= (71) + (62) + (9) + (88)
= 230
\]

So, 

\[
SLG = \frac{230}{399}
\]

Now, dividing 230 by 399:

\[
SLG \approx 0.576
\]

Thus, the slugging percentage is **0.576**.
