Duval went to bat 80 times during a baseball season. In the first half of the season he had 15 hits. In the second half of the season he had 9 hits. Which percent of the time did Duval get a hit during the entire season?
Answer:
The answer is 30%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Duval went to bat 80 times during a baseball season.
In the first half of the season he had 15 hits. In the second half of the season he had 9 hits.
Now total hits in all = \(15+9 =24\)
Now, to get the percent of the time, Duval get a hit during the entire season, we will do the following calculation:
\(\frac{24}{80}\times100= 30\) percent or 30%.
