Question

There was some orange juice in a container. A waiter filled 18 glasses with the orange juice from the container such that each glass contained 0.5 l of juice, then he filled 8 identical jugs with the remaining juice. The capacity of each jug is 2.225 l. Find the amount of juice in the container originally.

Answer 1

18 glasses are filled with 0.5 litres
which is 9 litres for the 18 glasses
each jug capacity is 2.225 litres
8 jugs are filled with remaining juice.
total juice = 9 litres + 2.225×8
= 9+17.8
= 26.8 litres are total juice
