Question

In a village, there are 8 water tanks to collect rain water. On a particular day, x litres of rain water is collected per tank. If 100 litres of water was already there in one of the tanks, what is the total amount of water in the tanks on that day?

Answer 1

Number of water tanks = 8

Rain water collected by each tank = x litres

∴ Rain water collected by 8 tanks = 8x litres

But 100 litres of water was already there in one of the tanks.

∴ Total amount of water in the tanks = (8x + 100) litres.
