Percentage:
The ratio of the volume of water in a glass jar to the volume of water in a ceramic jar is 2:3. If the volume of water in the glass jar is increased by 200%, by what percentage should the volume of water in the ceramic jar be increased such that both jars each end up with the same volume of water?

Answer:

100%

glass.......x

ceramic....y

x:y = 2:3

x/y = 2/3

after the increase in both jars:

3x:ny = 1:1

3x/ny = 1

3/n × x/y = 1

3/n × 2/3 = 1

3/n = 3/2

n = 2

volume of vater in the ceramic (y) is two times larger than before

2y = y + y = y + 100%y

you increased one more time the original volume of water or 100% of the original volume
