Open in App

Solution

$8 %$ of it is $40 l i t e r s$

Given

$8 %$ of it is $40 l i t e r s$

Therefore,

$8 %$ total $= 40 l$

$\Rightarrow \frac{8}{100} \times T o t a l = 40 l$

$\Rightarrow T o t a l = 40 \times \frac{100 l}{8}$

$\Rightarrow T o t a l = 500 l$

So, the total is $500 l i t e r s .$
