  1. Given:

    anna bought soil that contains 12% of water .

    she wants to plant a flower that needs 18% of water .

    To Find:

    how much water does she need to pour in 5 kg of soil to plant the flower

    Solution:

    anna bought soil that contains 12% of water

    5 kg of soil

    => Water = (12/100)2 = 0.6 kg

    Let say Water poured = W kg or litre

    Total Water = 0.6 + W kg

    Total Soil = 5 + W kg

    18% of water

    => (18/100)(5 + W) = 0.6 + W

    => 90 + 18W = 60 + 100W

    => 30 = 82W

    => W = 30/82

    => W = 0.366 kg or 0.366 litre

    or 3.66 dl

    3.66 dl water to be added
