Question

) a restaurant prepares 22 litres of a mixture that contains 25% of orange essence and the remaining quantity as water. If 3 litres of water is mixed in this mixture, what will be the percentage of orange essence in the new mixture? A) 34% b) 4% c) 12% d)22%

Answer 1

Total volume of mixture = 22 liters

Volume of orange juice = 25% of 22 = 22/4  = 5.5 liters

when three liters of water is added , volume of mixture = 22 + 3 = 25liters

so % of orange juice in new mixture = (5.5/25 ) × 100 = 22%

Hence new mixture will have 22% of orange juice  .
