Answer 1

Answer:

Tony poured is 9% of the total

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The capacity of the container= 60000 liters

Amount of water that tony pours=  5400 liters

Let us compute the percentage to know if it is up to 10%

= 5400/60000*100

=0.09*100

=9%

Hence the amount of water Tony poured is 9% of the total

Answer 2

Answer:

He is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

60 000 LB=55000

60 000 UB=65000

5400 LB= 5350

5400 UB=5450

65000x0.10=6500

55000x0.10=5500

he is wrong
