Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
A player has a batting average of 50 runs after 10 innings. If he scores 60 runs in his next innings, what will be his new average? (2022)
Step 1: Calculate the total runs scored after 10 innings. Multiply the batting average (50) by the number of innings (10). This gives you 50 * 10 = 500 runs.
Step 2: Add the runs scored in the next innings (60) to the total runs from Step 1. So, 500 + 60 = 560 runs.
Step 3: Calculate the new average by dividing the new total runs (560) by the new number of innings (11). So, 560 / 11 = 50.91.
Step 4: Round the new average (50.91) to the nearest whole number. This gives you 51.
