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

@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.

Total runs =110.
Boundaries means (4)=>so,
Qus:3 boundaries =3*4=12.
Sixes(6)=>so,
Qus:8 sixes = 8*6=48.
So, boundary + sixes = 12 + 48 = 60.
The, 60 runs is only boundaries and sixes.
But, the question was running b/w the wickets (only scores the runs in running ).
So, total - (boundaries &sixes) = running runs.
So, 110(total) - 60(boundaries &sixes) = 50(running runs).
Here, it is asked percentage :
So, running runs/total *100 = ans.
So, 50/110*100 = 500/11,
And the answer is 45*5/11.

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).

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

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

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.
