Total runs 110.

3 boundaries=3*4=12.
8 sixes =8*6=48.

Total score = 110-(12+48)
=110-60.
=50 total runs.

Percentage =50/110 * 100,
= 500/11.
= 45.45 mixed fraction lo rayaga 45*5/11.

why here we can't use the rule:x% of y= y% of x?

Anyone, please explain to me.

Total score : 110.

Three boundaries, that is 3 * 4 =12.
8 six , that is 8 * 6 = 48,

The score He runs between the wickets means.

reduce the above-mentioned values like boundaries and sixes from the total score, that is

110 - 12+48 = 50.

Percentage of 50 runs equal to
50/110 * 100%.
5000/110.

= 45.45.
.45 into fractional form.
Follow the following steps.
.45 to 45.

Then 45/100 here we taking 45/100 since there is two decimal points here
45/100 = 9/11.
50/110 * 100 =45 * 9/11.

The approximate answer from options is 45(5/11).

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)

Out of 110 Runs, he scored 60 runs by hitting the boundaries. Also, it is mentioned to calculate what percentage of total runs will he score by running between the wickets.

Am I right? Anyone, Please clarify.

@Kiraa.

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

The question is very simple.

Out of 110 Runs, he scored 60 runs by hitting the boundaries. Also, it is mentioned to calculate what percentage of total runs will he score by running between the wickets.

So,
(x/100)*110 = 50,
Now x = (50*100)/110.

Total runs : 110
boundaries :3 ie 3 * 4=12.---> 12 +48
six : 8 ie 8*6 =48 ---->=60.

= total run -addition of 4 and 6
= 110 -60 ie = 50
= 50/100 *100. ie 5000/110.

ie. 500/11(put in division method),
then 11 is divisor 5 is remainder 45 is the quotient,
45 * 5/11.
