Final answer:
Celeste gets a hit 3 out of 10 times; therefore, she fails to hit 7 out of 10 times. By converting this to a percentage, we calculate that she fails to get a hit 70% of the time.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking for the percentage of times Celeste fails to get a hit during her turns at bat. We are told that Celeste gets a hit 3 out of each 10 times at bat. Since there are 10 opportunities (at bats), and she hits 3 times, she fails to hit in the remaining 7 times. To find the percentage of times she fails, we divide the number of failures by the total number of attempts and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
So, the calculation is (7 failures / 10 attempts) × 100 = 70%.
Therefore, the percent of the times Celeste fails to get a hit is 70%. The correct answer is c. 70%.
