A tank is 3 / 5 full of water .
Let the common multiple be x .
Thus ,
3x of the tank is filled and the capacity of the tank is 5x .
50 litres more are required to fill the tank .
So ...
3x + 50 = 5x
50 = 5x - 3x
2x = 50
x = \frac{50}{2}
x = 25
Capacity of tank = 5x = 5(25) = 125litres
Final Answer :
The tank can hold 125 litres

Answer:
A tank is 3/5 full of water.
it means that 2/5 of tank is is still empty.
to fill the tank completely, 50 litres of water is needed.
so,
2/5 * Capacity of tank = 50
capacity of tank = 50* 5/2
capacity of tank = 250/2
capacity of tank = 125 litres
