​

Answer 1

Given :

• Total score of batsman = 110runs
• Number of boundaries = 8 boundaries
• Number of sixes = 8 sixes

To Find :

• The percentage of runs made by the batsman by running between the wickets.

Solution :

▪Runs from boundaries :

⇒ Number of boundaries = 3 boundaries

⇒ Runs from boundaries = 3 × 4 = 12

▪Runs from sixes :

⇒ Number of sixes = 8

⇒ Runs from sixes = 8 × 6 = 48

▪ Total score from boundaries and sixes :

⇒ Runs from boundaries + Runs from sixes

⇒ 12 + 48

⇒ 60

▪ Total runs by the batsman :

Now, to find number of runs scored by a batsman we must subtract runs scored in boundaries and sixes from total runs scored.

We know that, Total score = 110runs

⇒ [Total score] − [score from boundaries and sixes]

⇒ 110 - 60

⇒ 50

So then, From total score divide the total runs by the batsman. and multiple it by 100.

⇒ 50/110 × 100

⇒ 500/11

⇒ 45 5/11%

•°• 45 5/11% of runs made by the batsman by running between the wickets.
