It's similar to calculating batting average, except hits are weighted based on the amount of bases you get. For example, a home run is worth 4 hits, triple worth 3, etc. So if you got 2 HR, a double and a base hit in 10 at-bats, you would have 11 bases in 10 at-bats, giving you a 1.100 slugging percentage and a .400 batting average.

Good grief...
SLG == (total bases) / (at-bats)
total bases == singles + 2*doubles + 3*triples + 4*homers
or, same result,
TB == hits + doubles + 2*triples + 3*HR
since singles data isn't commonly available.

Total bases per at-bat.
