Jug X contains 4 times as much syrup as Jug Y. Sam adds 500ml of syrup to Jug X and 2 450 ml to Jug Y. Now the two jugs have the same amount of syrup. What is the total amount of syrup in the jugs now?
Solution
3 units ----- 2450 – 500 = 1950
1 unit -----1950 divided by 3 = 650
Total ----- 5 units + 500 + 2450
= (5 x 650) + 500 + 2450
= 3250 + 500 + 2450
= 6200
Answer: The total amount of syrup now is 6 200 ml
