200%2A%28ml%2Fcm%29, important ratio.

15%2Acm%2A%28200%29%28ml%2Fcm%29=3000%2Amilliliters capacity of the container.

That takes care of the first two sentences., .. almost.
%283%2F4%29%2A3000=2250%2Aml-------The amount of water initially in the container.

How much more water to completely fill?
3000-2250
