Question

A cricketer hits 120 runs in 150 balls, if he ran 30 singles. What percent of his shots are singles

Answer 1

Out of 150 shots (since he hits 150 balls) 30 are singles.

Therefore percentage of singles = 30/150 ☓ 100%

= 1/5 ☓ 100%

= 20 %

Answer 2

Total no. of runs scored=120

Total no. of runs by singles=30

no. of shots played =150
so,

% of his shots of single=
$\frac{runs \: by \: single}{total \: no. \: shots} \times 100 \\ \frac{30}{150} \times 100 \\ \\ \\ 20$
so,

$\boxed{\blue{Percentage\:of\:his\:shots\:that \:are\:single\:is 20 percent}}$
