(50*100)/110=500/11 are you agree with this, then
45*11=495 where 11 is denominator then by adding 5 to 495 we will get 500, then keep the denominator same.

Total 110-((3*4)+(8*6)) = 110-60 = 50.
50 runs he got only by running between the wickets.
So percentage is (50/110)*100 = 45.5%.
Answer is 45.5%.
50 runs he got only by running between the wickets.
So percentage is (50/110)*100 = 45.5%.

50/110*100.
So ans will be like 500/11,
500 is not divisible by 11.
So we write a mixed fraction,
That means 45 *11=495 remaining 5 will be there.

500/11
Hence we can write 500/11 = 45*5/11.
45
-----
11 ! 500
! 44
!----
60
55
-----
5
Hence we can write 500/11 = 45*5/11.

110 out of 100.
50 out of ?.
We can cut all '0's cross way (X) or up and down (/).
The Answer may come like 5/11.
So we can conclude 45 * 5/11.

Is it just me or is this question impossible for those who have no knowledge on cricket terminology? i.e., 1 boundary means a score of 4?

= 110-(3*4+8*6).
= 110-60.
= 50.
= 50/110*100.
= 5/11*100.
Percentage will be calculate first 5 * 100/11.
= 500/11,
= 45.45,
= 45.5/11.
= 110-60.
= 50.
= 50/110*100.
= 5/11*100.

Total 3 boundaries 4*3=12, no.of six 6 = 8 = 48, than total = 60.
And total score is 110, and 110-60 = 50, and 50/110*100 = 45.45.
And total score is 110, and 110-60 = 50, and 50/110*100 = 45.45.

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

Why should we write 50/110 * 100?
As my knowledge to get a percentage of 50 in 110 we have to calculate as 50/100 * 110.
