Hitting percentage is also called batting average. To calculate a player's batting average, divide the number of at bats into the number of base hits. For example, a batter has 400 at bats and 100 base hits. Dividing 400 into 100 gives a batting average of .250.

Divide number of hits by the number of at bats (at bats does not count walks+HBP+Catchers Inferference+Sacrifices).
divide the time at bat (AB) by hits (H). In symbols:

ave = AB/H

Note: one usually carries out to 3 places and omits the decimal point.

example : 18 hits in 50 times at bat.

batting average is 18/50 = .360 -- a 360 average -- very good.

Runs batted in is not an average. RBI is a tally of all the runs that a player scored by batting them in. The only averages are on base percentage, batting average, slugging percentage, and fielding percentage.

You take the number of base hits and divide it by the number of at bats, then, you have the batting average! Example: 5 hits out of 11 at bats. 5 divided by 11 equals a .454 batting average.

What is a good volleyball hitting percentage?

It depends on your age / skill level. I coach an elite u-12 team but at that age, a hitting percentage of zero is considered pretty good. Remember that hitting percentages can be negative, if you have more errors than kills for a certain number of attempts. For older, more experienced athletes, a hitting percentage of .300 is pretty good - think baseball!
