Answer 1

Answer: 48

Step by step explanation:

Let the average be x.

Sum of scores in 10 innings = 10x.

In the 11th inning, he scored 108 runs.

.°. Avg = (10x + 108)/11

Given that, Avg increased by 6,

x + 6 = (10x + 108)/11

11x + 66 = 10x + 108

x = 108 - 66

x = 42

Thus, his new average = x + 6

= 42 + 6

= 48

His new average is 48
