Question

A tin contains 20 liter of petrol. Due to leakage,3/2litre was lost. What percent is still remaining in the tin ?

Answer 1

Answer:

92.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A tin contains 20 liter of petrol.

20 lit = 100%

3/2 lit was lost means out of 20, 3/2 lit petrol lost.

[(3/2)/20]×100% of petrol is lost

3/40 ×100=7.5% petrol is lost

remaining petrol%= 100% - lost petrol in%

= 100% - 7.5%

=92.5%
