Question

The capacity of a water tank is 1000 liters. It was 65% full of water. Some water taken out from the tank and it found that the tank is now 48% full of water. Find the volume of water taken out​

Answer 1

Answer:

170 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

1% of water in the tank= (1/100*1000)l

                                     =10 l

Water taken out =65%-48%

                           =17%

So,

17%=170 l

Answer 2

Answer:

The volume of water taken out​ is 170 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total capacity of the water tank = 1000 L  

⇒ The tank is full of 65% of water,

$1000 L * (65/100) = 650 L$

⇒Amount of water remaining in the tank after water is taken out,

$1000 L * (48/100) = 480 L$

⇒To find the volume of water taken out, we should subtract the volume of water taken from the initial,(i.e.,)

$650 - 480 L = 170 L$
