Answer 1

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%.
