Can i please get help? I'm getting no answers. Ito adds 10 liters of water to an empty container, making it 60% full. If Ignacio adds 6 more liters of water, the container will be 80% full. What is the volume of the container?

Your answer would a 22 liter container. When you add 6 liters and it adds 20% to the overall water percentage, then you can safely say that adding another 6 liters would add 20% more turning your 80% full into 100% full. 16 liters plus 6 more liters equals 22 liters!
