Question

19. If 25% of a can of pears is syrup, and 425 ml is not syrup, what is the size of the can?​

Answer 1

466 2/3 ml is the size of the can

Explanation:

25% of a can of pears is syrup so

75% of a can of pears is not syrup

425 ml is not syrup

25% = .25

75% = .75

.75/.25 = 425/x

.25 * 425 = 106.25

.75x = 106.25

x = 106.25/.75

x = 41.666666667 is syrup

425 + 41.666666667 = 466.666666667
