Let me explain.
Total runs made by him = 110 in which he made 3 boundaries and 8 sixes
So basically a boundary means 4, therefore 3 boundaries means 3 X 4 = 12.
And 8 sixes equals to 8 X 6 = 48.
Now adding boundary and sixes made by him,
Therefore 12 + 48 = 60.
So the score 60 was not made by runs.
So let us subtract the score 60 from the total score 110.
So that 110 - 60 = 50
50 is the score which is made by running between the wickets.
The solution is not yet completed, it's about to finish
We need to get a percentage of that runs made by him.
50/110 * 100 = 45 * 5/11 will be the answer.
Hope you understand.

110 - (3 * 4 + 8 * 6)/110 * 100 = 500/11.
