Ok guys I was asked a question for which I can't answer and I know I should know the answer so here goes.....

If you mix 100ml of flavouring at 20% you get 500ml of juice and if you mix it at 10% you get 1000ml of juice so why when you mix at 15℅ do you not get 750ml?

I checked on a calculator and know it's 667ml please help [emoji26]

@mattyk2010, Divide 100 By 15, = 6.6666666666666666667ish

Three friends are splitting the bill after a meal out at a restaurant. The
waiter says the bill is £30, so the guests split it evenly and pay £10 each.

As he’s walking away the waiter realises that he’s overcharged the group
and the bill should only be £25.

In order rectify this, he takes the £5 that is owed to the guests in order
to bring the bill down to £25. On the way back to the table, he realises
that he cannot divide £5 equally between three people.

As the customers are still unaware of the actual total of the revised bill,
the waiter decides to just give each of the three friends £1 each and then
keep the leftover £2 as a tip for himself.

Basically, each customer got £1 back: meaning they only paid £9 each;
bringing the total paid to £27. The waiter has the leftover £2.

The £27 the customers paid, + the £2 the waiter kept = £29 so, if the
diners originally handed over £30, what happened to the remaining £1?

It's a trick question.

It's simply £27 minus the £25 leaving £2.

In the first instance you're adding 4 times as much of your flavouring to get 500ml. In the second you're adding 9 times a much to get 1000ml, so to get halfway between these totals you'd need to add a proportion halfway between the 2 already used, so 61/2 times as much, 650ml, which would give you 750ml.
