3x4+6x8 = 60 110-60 = 50.
50/110x100 = 500/11.
50/110x100 = 500/11.

(3*4)+(8*6)=60,
110-60=50,
50/110*100.
110-60=50,
50/110*100.

Hi,
3 * 4 + 8 * 6 = 60 runs.
110 runs - 60 = 50 => 50/110 (110 from total runs). 110 = 50
100 = X so 110 times 5/110 = 45 5/11.
3 * 4 + 8 * 6 = 60 runs.
110 runs - 60 = 50 => 50/110 (110 from total runs). 110 = 50
100 = X so 110 times 5/110 = 45 5/11.

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.

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.
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.

3 boundaries 3*4.
8sixes 8*6.
48+12=60.
110-60=50.
Run scored by running=50/110*100.
8sixes 8*6.
48+12=60.
