One litre of water is evaporated from $6$ litres of a solution containing $5$ % salt. Find the percentage of salt in the remaining solution.


Given: One litre of water is evaporated from $6$ litres of a solution containing $5$ % salt. 

To do: To find the percentage of salt in the remaining solution.

Solution: 

Measure of the solution$=6\ litres$

After one litre evaporation, new solution$=6-1=5\ litres$

Salt in $6\ litres=5$ % of $6\ litre =( \frac{5}{100}\times6)=0.30\ litre$

Salt in new solution $(5\ litres)=\frac{salt\ in\ solution }{mesurment\ of\ new\ solution}\times100=\frac{0.30}{5}\times100=6$ %


Thus, percentage of salt in new solution is $6$ %.
