Question

Pam poured R240 of petrol at aprice of R15/litre.in june the petrol price droped at R3/litre.how many more litres can she pour at the same money after price drop

Answer 1

It follows that Pam poured $\frac{240}{15}=16$ litres of petrol. In June the price was

R15/litre - R3/litre = R12/litre.

Therefore, in June Pam poured $\frac{240}{12}=20$ litres of petrol at the same money.

Consequently, she can pour

20 litres - 16 litres = 4 litres

more after price drop.

Answer: 4 litres
