Answer:
200 L
Step-by-step explanation:
let the capacity of the pitcher be X litre .Now find the amount of alcohol .You will find 18% of X as the amount of alcohol .the rest percent will be water now. In the second case,when the total capacity of the pitcher is constant the water is increased by 6 litres it means that now we will have to find 15% of X is the value of alcohol the rest percentage will be that of water. find the rest percentage of water now subtract the new percentage from the initial percentage of water and equate it to 6. Solve the equation and you will find the answer is 200 litres.
