A reservoir contains 1,500 litres. It loses 8% of its water through evaporation. How much water remains?
Hint
Find 92% of the original amount.
Answer
1,380 litres.
Explanation
If 8% is lost, 92% remains. 1,500 × 0.92 = 1,380 litres.
Step-by-Step Solution
Remaining percentage = 100%-8%=92%.
1500×92/100=1380L.
1500×92/100=1380L.
