The correct Answer is:
To find the percentage of milk in the mixture when the milkman mixes milk from two containers, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the quantities and percentages of milk in each container. - First container: 80% milk - Second container: 60% milk - Quantity from the first container: 28 liters - Quantity from the second container: 32 liters ### Step 2: Calculate the total quantity of milk from each container. - Milk from the first container = 28 liters * 80% = 28 * 0.80 = 22.4 liters - Milk from the second container = 32 liters * 60% = 32 * 0.60 = 19.2 liters ### Step 3: Calculate the total quantity of milk in the mixture. - Total milk in the mixture = Milk from the first container + Milk from the second container - Total milk in the mixture = 22.4 liters + 19.2 liters = 41.6 liters ### Step 4: Calculate the total volume of the mixture. - Total volume of the mixture = Quantity from the first container + Quantity from the second container - Total volume of the mixture = 28 liters + 32 liters = 60 liters ### Step 5: Calculate the percentage of milk in the mixture. - Percentage of milk in the mixture = (Total milk in the mixture / Total volume of the mixture) * 100 - Percentage of milk in the mixture = (41.6 liters / 60 liters) * 100 = 69.33% ### Final Answer: The percentage of milk in the mixture is **69.33%**. ---
