someone told me it is 7.5 but i keep getting 8.3
0.75x = 25
x = 33.333 original quarts
33.333 - 25 = 8.3
x = 33.333 original quarts
33.333 - 25 = 8.3
Let's check.
25 + 8.3 = 33.3
What is 75% of 33.3?
0.75 * 33.3 = 25
25 + 8.3 = 33.3
What is 75% of 33.3?
0.75 * 33.3 = 25
No matter how you turn it, you two are right and person z is wrong :)
