Question

a cistern contains 5 thousand litres of water if 6%water is leaked find how many litres of water would be left in the cistern

Answer 1

Amount of water in the tank = 5 000 litres

Find the amount of water leaked out:

Amount of water leaked out = 6% of the water

Amount of water leaked out = 6%  x 5000 litres

Amount of water leaked out = 0.06 x 5000

Amount of water leaked out = 300 litres

Find the amount of water left:

Amount of water left = 5000 - 300 = 4700 litres

Answer: Amount of water left in the cistern is 4700 litres

Answer 2

Answer:

4700 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cistern contains 5 thousand litres of water if 6% of water is leaked find how many litres of water would be left in the cistern.

 A cistern contains 5000 litres of water.

 6% of water is leaked. So 6 percent means 6 /100

   So 6 /100 x 5000 = 300 litres.

Now we need to find how much water is left in the cistern. So

        5000 - 300 = 4,700 litres.

The remaining amount of water left out in the cistern is 4700 litres.
