Question

Find the whole quantity if 8% of its is 40 litres.

Answer 1

Let the whole quantity be $x$

Given that:- $8\%$ of $x$ is $40L$

Therefore,

$\frac{8}{100}\times x=40$

$\Rightarrow x=40\times \frac{100}{8}=5\times 100=500L$

Thus the whole quantity is $500L$.

Hence the correct answer is $500L$.
