To calculate the slugging percentage for the player, we need to use the formula:

\[
\text{Slugging Percentage (SLG)} = \frac{\text{Total Bases}}{\text{At-Bats}}
\]

The total bases can be calculated as follows:

- Singles (1 base): 10 singles = \( 10 \times 1 \)
- Doubles (2 bases): 5 doubles = \( 5 \times 2 \)
- Home runs (4 bases): 5 home runs = \( 5 \times 4 \)

The player has 80 at-bats.

### Step 1: Calculate total bases
\[
\text{Total Bases} = (10 \times 1) + (5 \times 2) + (5 \times 4) = 10 + 10 + 20 = 40
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the slugging percentage
\[
\text{SLG} = \frac{40}{80} = 0.500
\]

Thus, the slugging percentage is **0.500**.

Here are 5 related questions for practice:
1. What is the difference between batting average and slugging percentage?
2. How would the slugging percentage change if the player hit one more home run?
3. If the player had 90 at-bats with the same total bases, what would the slugging percentage be?
4. How do walks affect slugging percentage?
5. Can a player's slugging percentage ever exceed 1.000?

**Tip:** Slugging percentage focuses on the power of hits, giving extra weight to extra-base hits like doubles and home runs.
