Question

A company males a mixture which contains 2% alcohol if 10l of alcohol is added to the mixture it increases to 5% what is the quantity of mixture

Answer 1

Answer:

Quantity is 316.6 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quantity be X litres.

=2/100*x = x/50 L

=quantity of alcohol= 10+X/50L

= % of alcohol in new mixture = 5/100

= 100 (500+X) = 250(x+10)

= 2(500+X) = 5(x+10)

X = 950/3 = 316.6 litres.
