A baker filled with a measuring cup with 1/2 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 choices
A) 1/8 cup	B) 3/8 cup	C) 1/4 cup	D) 1/2 cup	E) 5/8 cup
1/2 is the original water in cup .half in batter.So left is 1/4 out which 1/8 is spilled out.So again left with 1/8.   so 50% more than what he started was = 1/2+1/2*(1/2)=3/4   Amount of water needed to add = 6/8 - 1/8=5/8   5/8 cup
<result>E</result>
