Question

in a colony there was a tanker full of water. in one day 500 liters of water was used such that 85 % of water still remains how many liters of water was there originally??​

Answer 1

Answer:

full capacity of tank is x litres

given 500 litres of water is used

so according to question

(100 - 85) percent of x = 500 litres

15 percent of x = 500 litres

(15 ÷ 100) × x = 500

x =( 500 × 100) ÷ 15

x = 3333.33 litres is the original litres of water in tank
