If you include bacteria, then about 4 billion years.

(The earliest KNOWN life is 3,5 billion years old, but it had probably been around longer). If you want multicellular organisms , then about 1.2 billion years. Cambrian time period.

Invertebrates have been on Earth for at least 550 million years, with a diverse range of species evolving and adapting to different environments over time. They make up over 97% of all animal species on the planet and play crucial roles in ecosystems.

Is there a place where invertebrates can't be found?

On the surface of the earth: not really, invertebrates have been found from the very depths of the ocean, to the coldest mountain tops. It is unlikely that you will find invertebrates closer to the center of the earth (ie, deeper than the crust) however no-one has actually tried since it is impossible with today's technology. We also have not yet found them outside the earth (otherwise they would literally be aliens).

I do not know if there is an exact percentage, but I do know that the of the known species, the most are invertebrates. This is because bugs are invertebrates.
