Question

A batsman scored 100 runs which included 5 boundaries and 5 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

total runs from boundaries and sixes = 5(4) + 5(6)

= 20 + 30.

= 50

runs scored by running between wickets =

100 - 50 = 50

% of runs scored by running between wickets =

(50/100) * 100

= 50%

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 50 % .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Total Number of Runs scored by the batsman = 100

Number of boundaries hit by the batsman= 5

Number of sixes hit by the batsman = 5

To be Calculated :

Total Score made by running between the wickets

Formula to be Used :

Percent, is a relative number that is used to represent hundredths of any quantity. The percentage can be calculated by dividing the value by the total value and multiplying the result by 100. (Price/Total Price)

Calculations :

When a batsman hit a boundary, it is four runs.

When a batsman hit a six, it is six runs.

Total Number of runs scored by the batsman by hitting boundaries = 5×4 = 20

Total Number of runs scored by the batsman by hitting Sixes = 5×6 = 30

Total number of runs scored by hitting boundaries and sixes = 20 + 30 = 50

Percentage number of runs made by hitting boundaries and sixes =

$\frac{50}{100} \times 100 = 50$

Now,

total number of runs scored by running between the wickets = Total Number of Runs Scored - total number of runs made by hitting boundaries and sixes = 100 - 50 = 50

Percentage of runs scored by running between the wickets =

$\frac{50}{100} \times 100 = 50$

Hence, the Percentage of runs scored by running between the wickets = 50 %
