Let x = big pail and y = small pail
Equation 1 : x + y = 21.8
Equation 2 : 9*(y - 0.36) + (y - 0.36) = 21.8
Therefore, big pail = 19.26 litres
Therefore, small pail = 2.54 litres
Equation 1 : x + y = 21.8
Equation 2 : 9*(y - 0.36) + (y - 0.36) = 21.8
Therefore, big pail = 19.26 litres
Therefore, small pail = 2.54 litres
