A container of milk was \( \Large \frac{4}{5} \) full. When 12 bottles of milk were taken out and 8 bottles of milk were poured into it, it was \( \Large \frac{3}{4} \) full. How many bottles of milk can the container contain?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let x bottles can fill the container completely.
According to the question,
\( \Large \frac{4}{5} \times -\frac{3}{4}x= \left(12-8\right) \)
=>\( \Large \frac{16x-15x}{20}= \left(12-8\right) \)
=> \( \Large \frac{x}{20}=4\)
Therefore, x = 80
Therefore, Required number of bottles = 80
