Question
A tank can hold 50 litres of water. At present, it is only 30% full. How many litres of water shall I put into the tank so that it becomes 50% full?
Solution
Capacity of tank = 50 litres
30% of capacity = 30% of 50 litres
= `30/100xx50` = 15 litres
50% of capacity = 50% of 50 litres
= `50/100xx50` = 25 litres
Water need to bring it to 50% capacity
= 25 − 15 = 10 litres

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays. For example, if you apply sunscreen with SPF 15, you get 1 minute of UV rays for every 15 minutes you stay in the sun.
A label on a sunscreen with SPF 30 claims that the sunscreen blocks about 97% of harmful UV rays. Assuming the SPF factor is accurate, is this claim true? Explain.
