CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Pulp = 0.25×10+0.40×15=2.5+6=8.50.25 \times 10 + 0.40 \times 15 = 2.5 + 6 = 8.5 litres.

  2. Percentage = 8.525×100=34%\frac{8.5}{25} \times 100 = 34\%.

Worth noting

32.5% is the plain average of 25% and 40%; 31% swaps the two volumes.
