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

3 boundaries = 3*4=12,
8 sixes = 8*6=48,
=> 48+12=60 (runs scored with the help of boundaries),
runs scored by running b/w wickets = 110-60=50,
%runs scored by running = (50/110)*100.

@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

800 is how much % of 7200?
800*%/100 = 7200.

By solving we get 800%.
And by using above method.

800/7200*100=11.11111111.
Which will be the correct method and what is the answer.

Total score 110.

3 boundaries = (3 * 4) =12.
8 sixes = 8 * 6 = 48.
12 + 48 = 60.

Remaining runs (110 - 60) scored by running.

So % is 50/110 * 100 = 500/11 = option b.

See follow like this:

Given that;

Total runs = 110,
Total six = 8 * 6 = 48,
Boundaries = 4 * 3 = 12,
110-48 + 12 = 50.
Now find
110= 100%.
50=?
50/110 * 100 = 45 5/11.

Total run = 110.
Eight sixes = 48 run,
Three boundaries = 12run,

So, running between wicket=(110-48+12) = 50.
therefore, percentage of 50 run =(50/110)*100 = 45 * 5/11.

Runs=110.
(Boundaries)fours = 4 * 3 = 12,
Sixes=8*6=48,
total=48+12=60,
110-60 = 50,
50/110 = 5/11,
5/11*100(%) = 500/11,
45*11= 495,
Balance = 5,
= 45 5/11.

@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.

In a fraction, the number is increased by 20% and the denominator is decreased by 10% then the value of the fraction becomes 5/7. Then find the original fraction?

@Pavan.
Let x be his sales.
6000 salary out of which 1000 is fixed.
So he earns 5000 out of his sales.
10% commission on his sales.
10*x/100 = 5000.
x = 50000.
