Question
A vessel contains 300 litres of milk. Each time, x
litres of the mixture are replaced with water, and this is done three times. If finally the vessel has 97.65 litres of water, calculate x.Solution
300 Γ (1 β x/300)Β³ = 300 β 97.65 300 Γ ((300 β x)/300)Β³ = 202.35 ((300 β x)/300)Β³ = 202.35/300 ((300 β x)/300)Β³ = 673/1000 ((300 β x)/300)Β³ = (0.88)Β³ (300 β x) = 0.88 Γ 300 300 β x = 264 x = 36
