Respuesta :

In the question, there are two people with different percentage of drinking water from different quantities.
Taking the first case of Kylie we get that he drank 35% water of 400ml
Then
35% of 400 ml = (35/100) * 400 ml
                         = (35 * 4) ml
                         = 140 ml
So Kylie drank a total of 140 ml water.
Now taking the case of Eugenia we get that he drank 45% of 350 ml water.
Then
45% of 350 ml = (45/100) * 350
                         = 1575/10 ml
                         = 157.5 ml
So Eugenia drank 157.5 ml of water. Then we can conclude that Eugenia drank more water than Kylie.
