Question

In a village there are 8 water tanks to collect rain water. On a particular day, x litres of rain water is collected per tank. If 100 litres of water was already there in one of the tanks, what is the total quantity of water in the tanks on that day?

Answer 1

(8x + 100) litres

Explanation:

According to the question,

• Given, In a village there are 8 water tanks to collect rainwater. On a particular day, x litres of rainwater is collected per tank. If 100 litres of water was already there in one of the tanks.

Therefore,

Number of water tanks = 8

Rainwater collected by each tank = x litres

∴ Rainwater collected by 8 tanks = 8x litres

But, 100 litres of water was already there in one of the tanks.

• So, the amount of water in the tanks = (8x + 100) litres
