Three friends are sharing a bottle of lemonade. Selma drinks 35% of the bottle; Mia drinks 25; Ruby drinks 350.What percentage of the lemonade is left in the bottle when they have finished drinking?
watch those typos ...
100-35-25-35 = ___
To find out the percentage of lemonade left, we first need to calculate how much lemonade was consumed by Selma, Mia, and Ruby.
1. Selma drinks 35% of the bottle: If we assume the total amount of lemonade in the bottle is 100%, Selma drank 35% of it.
Therefore, Selma consumed 35% of the lemonade.
2. Mia drinks 25 units (presumably milliliters, ounces, or any other unit).
So, Mia consumed 25 units of the lemonade.
3. Ruby drinks 350 units (presumably milliliters, ounces, or any other unit).
Therefore, Ruby consumed 350 units of the lemonade.
Now let's calculate the total amount of lemonade consumed:
Total amount consumed = Selma's consumption + Mia's consumption + Ruby's consumption
= 35 + 25 + 350
= 410 units.
To find out the remaining lemonade, we subtract the total amount consumed from the initial amount (100%):
Remaining lemonade = 100% - Total amount consumed
= 100% - 410 units
= (100% - 410 units) / 100%
≈ 100% - 4.10%
≈ 95.90%.
Therefore, when they have finished drinking, approximately 95.90% of the lemonade is left in the bottle.
To find the percentage of lemonade left in the bottle, we need to calculate how much lemonade the three friends have consumed. Then, subtract that amount from the total volume of the bottle, and express the remaining volume as a percentage of the original volume.
First, let's calculate the amount of lemonade each friend has consumed:
Selma: 35% of the bottle
Mia: 25% of the bottle
Ruby: 350 ml
To get the total amount of lemonade consumed, we need to find the sum of the amounts consumed by each friend. However, we need to convert Selma's and Mia's percentages into milliliters to make them comparable to Ruby's consumption:
Let's assume the original volume of the bottle is x ml.
Selma: 35% of x ml = (35/100) * x ml
Mia: 25% of x ml = (25/100) * x ml
The total amount consumed (in milliliters) is:
Selma + Mia + Ruby = (35/100) * x + (25/100) * x + 350
Next, we need to calculate the remaining amount of lemonade. Subtracting the total amount consumed from the original volume will give us the remaining volume in milliliters.
Remaining lemonade = x - [(35/100) * x + (25/100) * x + 350]
Now, to find the percentage of the remaining lemonade, we can divide the remaining volume by the original volume and multiply by 100:
Percentage remaining = (Remaining lemonade / original volume) * 100
By following these steps and performing the calculations, we can determine the percentage of the lemonade left in the bottle when the friends have finished drinking.
