Capacity of tank=50litres.

30% of capacity=30% of 50 litres

=

100

30

×50=15 litres

50% of capacity=50% of 50 litres

=

100

50

×50=25 litres

Water need to bring it to 50% capacity=25−15=10 litres.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tank capacity=50 litres.

Present tank capacity=30%.

So the tank has 30/100*50=15 litres.

litres of water to be filled=Already 30% filled.

Now the rest is=50%-30%.

That is =20%

so 20/100*50.

Hence the answer is =15 litres
