We will get 8% of 500 liters is 40 liter.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

         Given data:- 8% of it is 40 liters.

        To find:-Value of the whole quantity.

        Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.

• It is denoted by %.

• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.

• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

        Therefore,

         $8\% \ of\ x =40\ liter\\\\=>8\%\times x =40\\\\=>\frac{8}{100} \times x=40\\\\=>\frac{8x}{100}=40\\\\ =>8x=100\times 40\\\\=>8x=4000\\\\=>x=\frac{4000}{8} \\\\=>x=500 \ liter$

Answer 2

Answer:

The whole quantity will be 500 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 8% of it is 40 liters.

We have to find the whole quantity.

• As we know, a percentage is a fraction of an amount is expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.
• It is denoted by a symbol%.
• For example, 5% means$\frac{5}{100}$.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

8% of it is 40 liters.

Let's assume the whole quantity be x.

Then,

8% of x is 40 liters.

$=>\frac{8}{100}\times x=40\\\\ =>\frac{8x}{100} =40\\\\=>8x=40\times 100\\=>8x=4000\\\\=>x=\frac{4000}{8} \\\\=>x=500$

Hence, the whole quantity will be 500 liters.
