(a) 20% (b) 25% (c) 80% (d) 75%

80% is left

If 1 crate equals 30 bottles and 30 bottles which equal 1 crate are removed (of which 5 drank and 25 damaged) and there are 5 crates altogether, the solution will be thus:

5-1 = 4
4/5 * 100/1
=80.

Total Percentage lost is 20.

But the answer says 75% and I don't see how 75% is a feasible answer

Mr Kolo is truly kolo, why would he drink 5 bottles and break 25 bottles. Anywhat what is left is 4 crates since 30 bottles make a full crate.

The guy above me is correct C is the answer

5 Crates of fanta
30 bottles = 1 crate

Bottles in total = 150
Broken bottle = 30

150 - 30 = 120

80% of 150 = 120.

you have done well. The correct answer is 80%
