Answer 2

Answer:

38.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :In 80 liters mixture of milk and water, water is only 25%. The milkman added 17 liters of water to the mixture.

To Find :What is the percentage of water in the final mixture?

Solution:

In 80 liters mixture of milk and water, water is only 25%.

Amount of water = $25\% \times 80 = \frac{25}{100} \times 80 =20$

The milkman added 17 liters of water to the mixture.

So, Amount of new mixture = 80+17 = 97 liters

Amount of water= 20 +17 = 37

The percentage of water in the final mixture = $\frac{37}{97} \times 100$

                                                                         = $38.14\%$

Hence The percentage of water in the final mixture is 38.14%
