Answer:

300litres

Step-by-step explanation:

capacity of water tank=1000litres

7/10 parts of tank is emptied,

<h2> method 1</h2>

so, to know the litres of water left in the tank has to be equal to 1000litres-emptied tank

let X to represent water left in the tank

X=1000litres-(7/10*1000litres)

X=1000litres-700litres

X=300litres

hence, litres of water left in the tank =300litres

<h2>method 2</h2>

since, full tank is 10/10 and you know the emptied tank has 7/10. meaning the remaining part of water is

10/10-7/10

3/10 of the tank with water

therefore, 3/10*1000litres

300litres.
