37.5litres

Answer 2

Answer:

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 1000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000=100%.

4. We know, that x is 3.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.75%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 1000=100%

2) x=3.75%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

1000/x=100%/3.75%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 3.75% of 1000

1000/x=100/3.75

(1000/x)*x=(100/3.75)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

1000=26.666666666667*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.666666666667) to get x

1000/26.666666666667=x

37.5=x

x=37.5

now we have:

3.75% of 1000=37.5
