You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+500+ ml = +.5+ L
Each jug holds +3.5+ ml
( is that correct ? )
and
+800+ ml = +.8+ L
Tank holds +975.8+ L
-----------------------------
In terms of units:
[ liters / tank ] / [ liters / jug ] = [ jugs / tank ]
+975.8%2F3.5+=+278.8+ jugs
The number of whole jugs that can
be filled is 278
