Solution

Step 1: First, we need to calculate the total runs scored through boundaries and sixes.

A boundary in cricket gives 4 runs and a six gives 6 runs. So, the total runs from boundaries and sixes are:

(7 boundaries * 4 runs) + (6 sixes * 6 runs) = 28 runs + 36 runs = 64 runs

Step 2: Now, we need to find out how many runs were made by running between the wickets.

This can be found by subtracting the runs made from boundaries and sixes from the total score:

120 total runs - 64 runs (from boundaries and sixes) = 56 runs

Step 3: To find out the percentage of the total score made by running between the wickets, we divide the runs made by running by the total score and then multiply by 100:

(56 runs / 120 total runs) * 100 = 46.67%

So, the batsman made approximately 46.67% of his total score by running between the wickets.
