Answer: 25 percent of the batters hits were not singles

Explanation:

The total number of hits made by the batter is 188.

Three fourths of the batter's 188 hits were singles. This means that the number of single hits made by the batter would be

3/4 × 188 = 141

Therefore, the number of the batter's hits that were not singles would be

188 - 141 = 47

The percentage of the batter's hits that were not singles would be

47/188 × 100 = 0.25 × 100 = 25%
