Question

nicola used 25% of the milk she collect from her goats this morning to make chise if she has 8.4 quarts of milk let over how many quarts of milk did she collect

Answer 1

If Nicola used 25% of the milk collected, that meqans she has 75% as leftover.

We are told that the leftover is 8.4 quarts of milk, that is, 8.4 equals 75%.

Therefore, we would have the following;

`\begin{gathered} (8.4)/(x)=(75)/(100) \\ \text{Cross multiply and you'll have} \\ (8.4*100)/(75)=x \\ (840)/(75)=x \\ x=11.2 \end{gathered}`

That means Nicola collected 11.2 quarts of milk
