Problema Solution
8 quarts of punch with 17% juice, add 1.5 quarts of water, what is the percentage of juice now?
Answer provided by our tutors
17% of 8 quarts is 0.17*8
If we add 1.5 quarts water the total amount of liquid will be: 8 + 1.5 = 9.5 quarts.
(0.17*8)/9.5 = 0.1432 or 14.32%
The percentage of juice is 14.32% now.
