Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

score in 6th innings = X6 = 4×(X)

X = avg. in previous 5 games

% increase in his avg. =( (avg. of 6 innings) - ( avg. of 5 innings) ) / (avg. of 5 innings)

= ( (5/6)(X) + (4/6)(X) - (X) ) / ( X )

= 1/2

= 50%

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his score in this game be 'x'.

 As given, 'x' is 4 times the average score in the previous 5 games.

∴ x = 4 * average score in the previous 5 games.

⇒ x/4 = average            ...(1)

⇒ x/4 = (sum of last 5 matches)/5

⇒ 5x/4 = (sum of last 5 matches)

Now, sum of scores = x + 5x/4

                   = 9x/4

∴ New average = (9x/4) / 6

                 = 9x/24

∴ % increase in average  =

          = (9x/24 - x/4)/(x/4) * 100%

          = (9/6 - 1)/1 * 100%

          = 1/2 * 100%

          = 50%

The percentage increase in his average after the 6th game is 50%
