Liquid in 24 litre mixture
= 24 × 25/ 100
= 6 litre
Amount of water = 18 litre
Now liquid in 10 litre mixture
= 30 × 10/ 100
= 3 litre
amount of water = 7 litre
Now, Total water in mixture = 18 + 7
= 25 litre
Total amount of mixture = 24 + 10
= 34 litre
% of water in mixture =
= (25/ 34) × 100
= 73.52 %
