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 1

I think it would be 19.2% if you rounded it would be 19%

Answer 2

The answer is 30%.

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:

`(24)/(80)*100= 30` percent or 30%.
