option D is the correct answer
intitial vol of water is 50ml,
water drianed is 35ml
therefore percentage water containt is =50-35=15
containt of water/initial vol of water =15/50x100 =0.3x100= 30%..
from the explanation given by my school the answer is supposed to be 20
50-35/50×100=-20
please the correct answer should be A
To find the percentage water content, you can use the formula:
Percentage Water Content
=
(
Amount of Water Drained
Initial Volume of Water
)
×
100
Percentage Water Content=(
Initial Volume of Water
Amount of Water Drained
)×100
Substitute the values:
Percentage Water Content
=
(
35
ml
50
ml
)
×
100
Percentage Water Content=(
50ml
35ml
)×100
Percentage Water Content=(
50
35
)×100
Percentage Water Content
=
0.7
×
100
Percentage Water Content=0.7×100
The correct answer is 70. Therefore, the correct option from your provided choices would be:
A.
46.7
%
46.7%
