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

Just apply yours common sense if get marks in percentages ie (acquired marks/total marks) right, then you will get result.

Total batsman score = 110.

Include 3*four and 8*sixes.

=12+48.

Include of six and four = 60.

Total score-sixes and fours = 110-60 = 50.

Percentage = Remaining without six and fours/total score**100.

= 110/50*100.

= 11/5*100.

= 1100/5.

= 45*5/11.

3*4=12,
8*6= 48,
48+12=60.

Total run b/w the wickets 110 - 60 = 50.

Therefore %= 50/110* 100 = 45.454545.

@Jay. Answer to wheat problem.

Let x kg of 4.5 and y kg of 5.25 Rs variety.

So,

4.5x+5.25y = 5(x+y).

on solving we get,

0.25y = 0.5x.

(x/y) = 25/50.

x:y = 1:2.

Total runs = 110.
Covered by = 60.

110-60 = 50.
So 50/1100*100.

45*5/11.

500/11
    45
-----
11 ! 500
! 44
!----
60
55
-----
5

Hence we can write 500/11 = 45*5/11.

Total runs = 110.

Runs got by boundary & sixes = 60//[4x3 + 8x6].
Runs got by wickets = 110-60 = 50.

They are asking what percentage 60 is what % of 110.

So, x% of 110 = 60.
x*110/100 = 60.

x = option B.
