Question

If a bucket is 80% full, then it contains 5 litres more water than when it is 70% full. Find the 50% of the bucket

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the capacity of bucket be x litres.

Now,

⇒80% of x - 70% of x = 5

⇒ 80x /100 - 70x/100 = 5

⇒ 10x = 500

⇒ x = 50.

The 100% capacity of the bucket is 50 litres.

So, the 50% capacity of the bucket will be 25 litres.
