Alligation–Mixture (Percentage to Total): A mixture contains 19% milk. If milk quantity is 437 mL, what is the total quantity of the mixture (mL)?

Introduction / Context:Converting a part to whole using percentages is a standard mixture skill.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Milk = 19% of total.
• Milk volume = 437 mL.

Concept / Approach:If part P is p% of total T, then T = P / (p/100).

Step-by-Step Solution:1) T = 437 / 0.19.2) Compute: 43700 / 19 = 2300 mL.

Verification / Alternative check:19% of 2300 = 0.19 * 2300 = 437 (checks).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:2200, 2350, 2400 do not yield 437 when multiplied by 19%.

Common Pitfalls:Using 19/100 incorrectly as 100/19.

Final Answer:2300
