Question

A petrol barrel is 7/11 full; when 85 litres are drawn from it, it is just 1/4 full. Find the full capacity of the barrel.

Answer 1

Answer:220 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount of petrol in the barrel be x.

Amount of petrol taken out=7x/11 - x/4=17x/44

We also know that the amount of petrol taken out=85 liters

So 17x/44=85 liters

x=85*(44/17)=220 liters
