To find the percentage of times Duval got a hit during the entire season, we need to calculate the total number of hits he had.
In the first half of the season, he had 15 hits.
In the second half of the season, he had 9 hits.
Therefore, the total number of hits in the entire season is 15 + 9 = 24.
To find the percentage, we divide the number of hits by the total number of times at bat and multiply by 100.
So, the percentage of times Duval got a hit during the entire season is (24/80) * 100 = 30%.
Therefore, the answer is 30%.
To find the percentage of times Duval got a hit during the entire season, we need to calculate the total number of hits and divide it by the total number of times he went to bat.
In the first half of the season, Duval had 15 hits out of 80 at-bats.
In the second half of the season, he had 9 hits out of another 80 at-bats.
Therefore, the total number of hits Duval had during the entire season is 15 + 9 = 24.
The total number of times Duval went to bat is 80 (first half) + 80 (second half) = 160.
To find the percentage, we divide the total number of hits (24) by the total number of times at bat (160) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
(24 / 160) * 100 = 15%
Therefore, the correct answer is 15%.
To calculate the percentage of the time Duval got a hit during the entire season, we need to find the total number of hits he got and divide it by the total number of times he went to bat, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
In the first half of the season, Duval had 15 hits, and in the second half, he had 9 hits. So the total number of hits for the whole season is 15 + 9 = 24.
Duval went to bat 80 times during the season. Therefore, the percentage of the time he got a hit is (24 / 80) * 100 = 30%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 30%.
