6 liters of chocolate syrup are mixed in x liters of milk. If the syrup is 20% of the mixture, what is the value of x?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Chocolate syrup = 6 liters
Syrup = 20% of the mixture
Let's say milk = x liters
Total mixture = 6 + x
As per the question:
6 / (6 + x) = 20 / 100
6 / (6 + x) = 1 / 5
5 × 6 = 6 + x
30 = 6 + x
x = 24 liters
