Question

A batsman scored 110 runs which included 3 boundaries and 8 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?

Answer 1

Run scored oy 4s=4×3=12
scored by 6s=6×8=48
total runs scored by boundaries=48+12=60
Remaining runs=110-60=50
Percentage=50×100/110
=5000/11
=45.45%

Answer 2

Number of runs made by running = 110 - (3 x 4 + 8 x 6)

                                                    = 110 - (60)

                                                   = 50.

Required percentage = $(\frac{50}{110} \times100)$% = $45\frac{5}{11}$%
