A batsman scored 86 runs which included 8 boundaries and 3 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?

Question: A batsman scored 86 runs which included 8 boundaries and 3 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?

Solution:
Total score of batsman = 86 runs
runs from boundaries = 4 × 8 = 32
runs from sixes = 6 × 3 = 18
∴ Total runs from boundaries and sixes = 32 + 18 = 50 runs
Scores by running between the wickets = 86 - 50 = 36 runs

percentage of his score made by running between wickets = (36/86) × 100% = 41.86%
