Calculate 35 Percent of 1000 Liters: Pool Water Reduction Problem

Question

A pool contains 1000 liters of water. After three days, 35% of the total water remains. How many liters are left in the pool after three days?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the percentage of the initial amount needed.
  • Step 2: Calculate the corresponding amount of water using the percentage formula.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: We need to find 35% of the initial 1000 liters.

Step 2: Using the formula to find a percentage of a number, we have:

Amount of water remaining=(35100)×1000 \text{Amount of water remaining} = \left(\frac{35}{100}\right) \times 1000

Calculating this gives:

=0.35×1000 = 0.35 \times 1000

= 350

Therefore, the number of liters left in the pool after three days is 350 350 liters.

Answer

350
