Answer:

(**Note that there are two options for the answer and you can use the two answers that you prefer. I explained why there are two answers in my explanation below**)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Imran's runs = 123; Remaining team's runs = 227

If you use the alternative answer:

Imran's runs = 122; Remaining team's runs = 228

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the number of runs that Imran scored:

Since Imran scored 35% of the 350 total runs, we can determine the exact number by multiplying 0.35 by 350:

Imran's runs = 0.35 * 350

Imran's runs = 122.5

Imran's runs = 123

Because cricket requires whole numbers for scoring, we had to round up to 123, meaning Imran scored 123 runs.

Checking the validity of the answer:

When we divide 123 by 350 and multiply by 100, we get:

Percentage = (123/350) * 100

Percentage = 35.14285714

  • 35.14285714 is only 0.14285714 units away 35, so we can trust our answer, despite it being an approximation.

Alternative answer for Imran's runs:

Alternatively, you could use 122 since:

(122/350) * 100 = 34.85714286, which is only 0.14285714 units away from 35.

Step 2: Determine how many runs the remaining team scores:

Since we now know that Imran scored 123 runs, we can determine how many runs the other team scores by subtract 123 from 350:

Remaining team runs = 350 - 123

Remaining team runs = 227

Thus, the remaining team scored 227 runs.

Checking the validity of the answer:

Since Imran's runs represents 35% of the 350 total runs and a percentage adds up to 100 (normally), we can check that 227 is about 65% of 350, meaning our answer is correct:

Percentage = (227/350) * 100

Percentage = 64.8571426

  • 64.8571426 is only 0.8571426 units away from 65, meaning we can trust our answer, despite it being an approximation.
  • Also, 35.14285714 (the percentage for Imran's 123 runs) + 64.8571426 = 100 exactly, further proving the validity of our answer.

Alternative answer for the remaining team's runs:

If you said that Imran scored 122 runs, this means that the other team scored 228 runs (350 - 122).

We can prove the validity of 228 as an answer since:

Percentage = (228/350) * 100

Percentage = 65.14385714

  • Because 65.14385714 is only 0.14385714 units away from 65, we can trust that our answer is correct.
