@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.

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)%.
