A baker filled with a measuring cup with 1/4 cup water. He poured 1/2 of the water into the batter, and then spilled 1/8 of the water on the floor. How much water will the baker needed to add what is left in the cup to have 50% more than what he started with?
Answers:
A) 1/8 cup	B) 3/8 cup	C) 1/4 cup	D) 1/2 cup	E) 7/8 cup
B   1/4 is the original water in cup .half in batter.So left is 1/8 out which 1/8 is spilled out.So again left with 0.   so 50% more than what he started was = 1/4+1/2*(1/4)=3/8   Amount of water needed to add = 3/8 - 0=3/8   3/8 cup
<result>B</result>
