Question

Percentage:
The ratio of the volume of water in a glass jar to the volume of water in a ceramic jar is 2:3. If the volume of water in the glass jar is increased by 200%, by what percentage should the volume of water in the ceramic jar be increased such that both jars each end up with the same volume of water?

Answers

  1. Answer:
    100%
    glass…….x
    ceramic….y
    x:y = 2:3
    x/y = 2/3
    after the increase in both jars:
    3x:ny = 1:1
    3x/ny = 1
    3/n × x/y = 1
    3/n × 2/3 = 1
    3/n = 3/2
    n = 2
    volume of vater in the ceramic (y) is two times larger than before
    2y = y + y = y + 100%y
    you increased one more time the original volume of water or 100% of the original volume
