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?
45%
45 5 %
11
54 6 %
11
55%
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

Total run = 110.

And runs scored by boundaries and sixes are (3*4=12)+ (8*6=48) = 60,
Rest scores made by running = 110 - 60 = 50 runs.
So percentage of running's score = (running's score / total Score )*100.
= (50/110)*100 = (5/11)*100.
= 500/11,
=> (45/1)+(5/11).
i.e option (B).

Total score = 110,
3 * 4 = 12,
8 * 6 = 48.

Total score - six and four = 110 - 60 = 50,
Percentage = 50/1100 * 100,
= 45(5/11).

@Kiraa.

Hey, it is not 50/100, it's 50/110.
Because 110 is the total.

Total runs = 110.
Total runs from boundaries and sixes = 8 * 6 + 3 * 4 = 60,
Runs made by running between the wickets = 110-60 = 50,
Percentage of run made by running between the wickets = (50/110 * 100)% = 45.45%.
Correct Answer : (C)

See follow like this:

Given that;

Total runs = 110,
Total six = 8 * 6 = 48,
Boundaries = 4 * 3 = 12,
110-48 + 12 = 50.
Now find
110= 100%.
50=?
50/110 * 100 = 45 5/11.
