Step 1: mix 8 liters of M and 12 liters of N to make P

Mango in 8 liters of M: .60(8) = 4.8

Mango in 12 liters of N: 0

Percentage of mango in 8+12 = 20 liters of P: 100*(4.8/20) = 0.24

Step 2: mix 5 liters of P with 3 liters of M to make T

Mango in 5 liters of P: .24(5) = 1.2

Mango in 3 liters of M: .60(3) = 1.8

Percentage of mango in 5+3 = 8 liters of T: 100*((1.2+1.8)/8) = 100(3/8) = 37.5

ANSWER: 37.5%
