Question

Alan has $15$ empty water bottles, $14$ with capacity of $500$ milliliters and $1$ with a capacity of $750$ milliliters. Calculate the total quantity of liquid that can be stored in all $15$ water bottles.

• A. $7000mL$
• B. $750mL$
• C. $7750mL$
• D. $775mL$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $7750mL$

Alan has $15$ water bottles.
Capacity of each of the $14$ water bottles $=500mL$
Quantity of liquid that can be stored in the $14$ bottles $=14\times 500=7000$
Capacity of the remaining water bottle $=750mL$

Total quantity of water that can be stored = quantity of water that can be stored in $14$ bottles + quantity of water that can be stored in the remaining bottle
$=7000+750=7750mL$
