Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
If a player has a batting average of 50 and has played 20 matches, how many runs has he scored in total? (2021)
Step 1: Understand what a batting average means. A batting average of 50 means the player scores an average of 50 runs per match.
Step 2: Identify the number of matches played. In this case, the player has played 20 matches.
Step 3: Use the formula to calculate total runs scored. The formula is: Total runs scored = Batting average * Number of matches.
Step 4: Plug in the numbers into the formula. So, Total runs scored = 50 (batting average) * 20 (matches).
Step 5: Calculate the total runs. 50 * 20 = 1000 runs.
Batting Average Calculation – The batting average is calculated by dividing the total runs scored by the number of matches played. In this case, the question incorrectly assumes that the batting average can be directly multiplied by the number of matches to find total runs.
