1+80% of C=C Where C is total liquid in can.

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

Yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that doesn't make sense

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

If total is C then juice is 80% of C Total volume=water + juice . C = 1 + 80%of C

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

As water is 1 litre

OpenStudy (malcolmmcswain):

C

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

Hint :80% of C=80C/100 =4C/5

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

So equation is C=1+4C/5
