can you tell me in an equation how to find 20% of 1 liter?????

Answer 1

20 percent means = 20/100

Answer 3

with only one variable and that one variable would be the total

Answer 4

well when you find what 20 percent of 1 liter is you can add that to 1 liter to find the total.
Equation would be

1 liter + 20% of 1 liter = total
1 + (20/100) = total
