A.24%
B.30%
C.44%
D.60%

Answer 1

Option(B) - 30%.

Given, In the 1st half the number of hits he had = 15.

            In the second season the number of hits he had = 9.

   
                Total Number of hits = 15 + 9 

                                                   = 24.

Total percent during the entire season = 24/80

                                                                 = 0.3

                                                                = 30%.


Hope this helps!
