The oil pipeline passes by three villages A, B, C. In the first village, 30% of the original amount is drained, in the second – 40% of the amount that will go to village B, and in the third – 50% of the amount that will reach the village C. percent of the original amount of oil reaches the end of the pipeline?
1. Determine how many percent of oil reaches village B:
100 – 30 = 70%;
2. Determine how many percent of oil is discharged in village B. We take this percentage for a and make up the proportion:
70% – 100%, and% – 40%;
70: a = 100: 40;
a = (70 x 40): 100;
a = 28%;
3. Determine how many percent of oil reaches the village C:
70 – 28 = 42%;
4. Determine how many percent of oil is discharged in the village C. We take this percentage for a and make up the proportion:
42% – 100%, and% – 50%;
42: a = 100: 50;
a = (42 x 50): 100;
a = 21%.
5. Determine how many percent of oil reaches the last village:
42 – 21 = 21%.
Answer: 21% of the oil reaches the last village.
