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.

= 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.

= 500/11,
= 45.45,
= 45.5/11.

Total runs he scored = 110.
The scored 3 boundaries and 8 sixes=> 3 * 4 + 6 * 8 = 60,
The runs scored by him running between the wickets => 110 - 60 = 50.
By unitary method,
For 110runs ---------100%
For 50 runs ----------?.
That follows as = 50 * 100/110 = result.

8 comes because they had given 8 six so we multiply with 8.

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.
