So lets say that this salt and water solution consists of 100 liters.

Then that means 20 liters is salt, and 80 liters out of the 100 is water.



Now, we remove 25% of the water. 25% of 80 liters is 20 liters. So, we are left with 80-20, or 60 liters.



Now in all we have 20 liters of salt, and 60 liters of water.

The percentage of salt in the new mixture will be 20/(20+60) = 20/80 = 25%.



Your answer is 25%

babymother [125]

Answer:

The algebraic expression is (P-0.15p) = 0.85p

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an algebraic expression to model the situation at hand;

Original price p of an item less a 15% discount

What this mean is that we want to remove a 15% discount from the original price P

That term ‘less’ means we are subtracting

so 15% of p would be;

15/100 * p = 15p/100 = 0.15p

So 15% of P less P is (P-0.15P) = 0.85P
