Question: Janice adds 2 tablespoons of koolaid power and 16 tablespoons of water to a jug. She leaves it out long enough for 4 tablespoons of water to evaporate. Then she quadruples the amount of water in the jug. What percentage of the liquid in the jug is koolaid powder? Is final answer 4?
Answer: First find how many tablespoons of water are left after the evaporation: 16 tbs - 4 tbs = <<16-4=12>>12 tbs
Then multiply this number by 4 to find how much water is in the jug after Janice refills it: 12 tbs * 4 = <<12*4=48>>48 tbs
Now add the 2 tablespoons of koolaid powder to find the total volume of the liquid in the jug: 48 tbs + 2 tbs = <<48+2=50>>50 tbs
Now divide the volume of the koolaid powder by the total volume and multiply by 100% to find the percentage of the liquid that's koolaid: 2 tbs / 50 tbs * 100% = 4%
