Question

A batsman scored 150 runs which included 5 boundaries, 2 sixes and other singles. What percentage of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?

Answer 1

2 sixes = 12 runs

5 oundaries = 20 runs

Total = 20+12 = 32

Remaining runs = 150 -32 = 118

150 - 118/150  * 100 =  32/150  * 100

= 21.33 %

Answer 2

The answer is 78.66%

Given: The batsman score = 150 Runs

Number of boundaries = 5

Number of sixes = 2

To find: The percentage of his score make by runnings

Solution:

The score scored by 5 boundaries = 4(5) = 20

The score scored by 2 sixes = 2(6) = 12

The score scored by boundaries and sixes = 20 + 12 = 32    

The score by running between wickets = 150 - 32 = 118  

Therefore, the percentage of runnings between two wickets = $\frac{118}{150} (100)$

= $\frac{118}{3} (2)$ = 78.66%  

Percentage of his total score did he make by running between the wickets 78.66%
