Answer» In 10L of WATER drawn amount of spirit PRESENT is = (17/100)10 =1.7 L . Let's assume x is the capacity of the vessel from 17% amount of spirit COMES down to 15 1/9% . The difference between this percentage is (17% - 15 1/9%) = 17/9 % x 17/9 % x =1.7 litres . =&GT; x = 90 L In 10L of water drawn amount of spirit present is = (17/100)10 =1.7 L . Let's assume x is the capacity of the vessel from 17% amount of spirit comes down to 15 1/9% . The difference between this percentage is (17% - 15 1/9%) = 17/9 % x 17/9 % x =1.7 litres . => x = 90 L

Answer»

In 10L of WATER drawn amount of spirit PRESENT is = (17/100)*10 =1.7 L .

Let's assume x is the capacity of the vessel

from 17% amount of spirit COMES down to 15 1/9% .

The difference between this percentage is (17% - 15 1/9%) = 17/9 % x

17/9 % x =1.7 litres .

=&GT; x = 90 L

In 10L of water drawn amount of spirit present is = (17/100)*10 =1.7 L .

Let's assume x is the capacity of the vessel

from 17% amount of spirit comes down to 15 1/9% .

The difference between this percentage is (17% - 15 1/9%) = 17/9 % x

17/9 % x =1.7 litres .

=> x = 90 L
