a tank is 3/5 full of water.50 litres more are required to fill it up .how many litres can the tank hold solution in meritnation

Solution:

Let us assume that tne total water the tank can is X Liters.

Then the equation we get from the problem:

3/5 of X + 50 = X

3X + 250 / 5 =X

3X - 5X = -250

- 2X = -250

X = 250/2 = 125 Liters.

Ans: 125 Liters.
