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

110 - (3 * 4 + 8 * 6)/110 * 100 = 500/11.

How 45 came?

Vino said:   1 decade ago
Why we have to divide by 110 & multiply by 100?

Aparna said:   1 decade ago
Just we have used the formula.

50 runs are scored by running out of total score 110.

And as we have asked the ans. Should be in percentage.

Any quantity when multiplied by 100, we get the value in percentage.

How 45 came can you pls explain ?

(50*100)/110=500/11 are you agree with this, then

45*11=495 where 11 is denominator then by adding 5 to 495 we will get 500, then keep the denominator same.

@seshadri,
remember one thing
any fraction can be written in the following format

quotient *(remainder/divisor)

we get fraction as
500/11

just convert it into above format
thats it

Hai I can't understand this problem.

As 2*1/2 =5/2

Similarly 500/11=45* 5/11 that is

( (45*11)+5)/11
