Allegations on the bartender!!!

Algebra Level 3

A bartender stole champagne from a bottle that contained 50% of spirit and he replaced what he had stolen with champagne having only 20% spirit. The bottle then contained only 25% spirit. How much of the bottle did he steal (in%)?

Note:Give your answer to 1 decimal place only. Good luck!!!


The answer is 83.3.

50 ( 100 − x ) + 20 x = 25 ( 100 ) 50(100 - x) + 20x = 25(100)

x = 83.3 x = \boxed{83.3}
