Given

The total score of the batsman: 96 runs

Score from boundaries: 2 x 4 = 8 runs

Score from sixes: 6 x 6 = 36 runs

Concept Used: Percentage = (part / total) x 100

Solution:

Runs made by running between the wickets = Total score - score from boundaries - score from sixes = 96 - 8 - 36 = 52 runs

Percentage of score made by running = (52 / 96) x 100 = 54.16%

Therefore, the percentage of his total score that he made by running between the wickets is 54.16%.
