Question

A water tank was 1/8 full of water. When 10,500 litres of water was added into the tank it became ¾ full.
Determine the quantity of water in litres the tank can hold when it is completely full. (

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the full capacity of the tank be = x litres

Equation,

$1/8*(x) + 10,500 = 3/4(x)\\10,500 = 3x/4 - x/8\\10,500 = (6x-x)/8\\10,500 * 8 = 5x\\84000 = 5x\\x = 84000/5\\x = 16800$

So the quantity of water when tank is full = 16,800 litres
