A vessel contains 36% water, 40% milk, and the rest is sugar. Determine the quantity of each component in a 1 kg sample.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Water = 36%
Milk = 40%
Total Sample = 1 kg
According to the formula:
Quantity = (Percentage / 100) × Total
Water = (36 / 100) × 1 = 0.36 kg = 360 g
Milk = (40 / 100) × 1 = 0.40 kg = 400 g
Sugar = 1 − (0.36 + 0.40) = 0.24 kg = 240 g
360 g, 400 g, 240 g
