The stall owner purchased 300 ℓ of drinks and the volume of lemonade purchased made up 20% the total volume of drinks purchased. How much more did the drinks stall owner spend on mineral water than on lemonade?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: volume of lemnde =300*20%=60liter

Volume of mineral water=300-60=240liter

Cost of 1mineral water =1•20

Cost of 240liter of mineral water=1•20*240=₹288

Cost of 1l of lemonade =2•50

Cost of 60l of lemonade=2•50×60=150

₹288-₹150=₹138
