Question

A boy drank 750 cm3 of water. His total intake of water for that day was 3000 cm3. Calculate the percentage (%) of the boy’s total intake that the 750 cm3 represents. Give your answer as a %

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage intake = 25%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Total intake = 3000 cm³

Part intake = 750 cm³

To find the percentage of the boy’s total water intake, we would use the following formula;

$Percentage \; intake = \frac {Part \; intake}{Total \; intake} * 100$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Percentage \; intake = \frac {750}{3000} * 100$

$Percentage \; intake = \frac {75000}{3000}$

Percentage intake = 25%
