A baker filled with a measuring cup with 3/5 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?  Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 1/8 cup
B) 3/8 cup
C) 1/4 cup
D) 1/2 cup
E) 29/40 cup
E   3/5 is the original water in cup .half in batter.So left is 3/10 out which 1/8 is spilled out.So again left with 1/8.   so 50% more than what he started was = 3/5+1/2*(3/5)=9/10   Amount of water needed to add = 9/10 - 1/8=29/40   29/40 cup
<result>E</result>
