In a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in 60 gm of mixture 15 gm water was added, what would be the percentage of water ? (Weight in gm)
Correct Answer: 80%
Explanation:
Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm.
After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm.
