Given : A baseball player was that bat 473 times during a regular season.

If the made a hit 31. 5 % of the time .

We can rewrite 31.5% as 0.315.  [ To convert percent into decimal we divide it by 100.]

Now, the number of hits he made during the regular season will be :-

$0.315\times473=148.995\approx149$ [Rounded to nearest whole number]

Hence, He made 149 hits during the regular season.
