A mixture contains 60% milk. If 20 liters of water is added to the 80-liter mixture, what is the new percentage of milk?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 48%.
Mixture = 80 L
Milk = 80 × 0.60 = 48 L
Water = 80 - 48 = 32 L
Add 20 L water ⇒ New total mixture = 80 + 20 = 100 L
New milk percentage = (48/100) × 100 = 48%
