A batsman scored 110 runs which included 3 boundaries and 8 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Number of runs made by running = 110 - (3 x 4 + 8 x 6)
= 110 - (60)
= 50.
 Required percentage = |
 |
50 | x 100 |  % = 45 |
5 | % |
| 110 | 11 |

Hi guys.
Total runs = 110.
4's = 3 ( 4*3 = 12).
6's = 8 ( 6*8 = 48).
12 + 48 = 60.
Running between wicker = 110 - 60 = 50.
50/ 110 * 100 = 500/11 = 45 (5/11).
Total runs = 110.
4's = 3 ( 4*3 = 12).
6's = 8 ( 6*8 = 48).
12 + 48 = 60.
Running between wicker = 110 - 60 = 50.
50/ 110 * 100 = 500/11 = 45 (5/11).

3 boundaries = 4 * 3 = 12.
8 sixes = 8 * 6 = 48.
Total score = 110.
The score without boundaries btw wickets = [(110 - (12+48))/110] * 100 = (45+5/11)%.
8 sixes = 8 * 6 = 48.
Total score = 110.
The score without boundaries btw wickets = [(110 - (12+48))/110] * 100 = (45+5/11)%.

@All.
Explanation: out of 110 runs with bound and 8 sixes : 3 boundaries + 8 sixes = 60 runs with bound and 8sixes rest are runs with running between wickets.
110-60 = 50 (now they ask for the percentage for 50 with 110), that is 50% of 110, then
50/100 * 110 = 45.4% which is the correct answer.

Total Runs 110.
3 boundaries = 3 * 4 = 12.
8 * 6 = 48,
12 + 48 = 60.
Between wickets is 110-60 = 50.
Now they have asked me to find the % of 110 = 50
Simply add 2 zeros to 50 and divide by 110
eg: %10 of x =a.
=>a00/10 find x.
eg: x% of 100 = a.
=>a00/100 find x.
x% of 110 = 50,
=>5000/110= 45.45.
3 boundaries = 3 * 4 = 12.
8 * 6 = 48,
12 + 48 = 60.

Given that;
Total runs = 110,
Total six = 8 * 6 = 48,
Boundaries = 4 * 3 = 12,
110 - 48 + 12 = 50,
To find a percentage,
= (50/110) * 100
= 500/11.
Now 45 * 11 = 495,
Mixed fraction form;
= 45 *(5/11).
