Good evening

Answer:

<h2>14.7838 grams</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Rule : </u></em>_____________________________________________________

decrease something by p% then decrease by q% means multiply by

(1-\frac{p}{100})(1-\frac{q}{100})

__________________________________________________________

Note : <em>in our case the amount of water in the solution has decreased by 3.5% then by 4.25% consecutively</em>____________________________________

Let’s apply what we have learnt:

the amount of water remaining in the solution at the end of the second hour is

16(1-\frac{3.5}{100})(1-\frac{4.25}{100})=14.7838

Hope this helps.

Answer:

3.5% decrease means 96.5% remaining

0.965(16)

4.25% decrease means 95.75% remaining

0.9575(0.965(16))

= 14.7838 grams
