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?

Given Score Breakdown

• Total runs = 110
• Boundaries (fours) = 3 ⇒ runs from fours = 3 × 4 = 12
• Sixes = 8 ⇒ runs from sixes = 8 × 6 = 48

Step 1: Runs made without boundaries/sixesRuns by running between wickets = Total − (Fours + Sixes)= 110 − (12 + 48) = 110 − 60 = 50

Step 2: Percentage of totalPercentage = (50 ÷ 110) × 100 = (5 ÷ 11) × 100 ≈ 45.45%

Notes

• (5 ÷ 11) × 100% is a recurring decimal 45.4545…; report to two decimals.

Final AnswerHe scored 45.45% of his runs by running between the wickets.
