Question: How much water should be added to 80 liters of pure milk to gain extra 20% profit when selling the mixture at the price of pure milk?

Solution:
Let’s assume,
Price of pure milk per liter = 100 Taka
So, the price of 50 liters of pure milk = 100 × 80 = 8000 Taka

Now assume,
Water added to the milk = x liters
Then the total quantity of the milk-water mixture = (80 + x) liters

Since the mixture is sold at the price of pure milk,
The selling price of (80 + x) liters = 100(80 + x) Taka

According to the question,
100(80 + x) = 8000 + 8000 of 20%
⇒ 8000 + 100x = 8000 + {8000 × (20/100)}
⇒ 8000 + 100x = 8000 + 1600
⇒ 8000 - 8000 + 100x = 1600
⇒ 100x = 1600
⇒ x = 1600/100
⇒ x = 16

∴ Amount of water to be added = 16 liters
