Question

A tank that is 30% full contains 651 gallons of water. How much water does the tank hold when it is full?

Question 1 options:

1,620 gallons


2,160 gallons


1,627.5 gallons


2,170 gallons

Answer 1

2,170 gallons

Explanation:

First you can see that at 30% we have 651 gallons so you want to multiply it by three because we are trying to get to 100% after you multiply it by three we have found out how much it is filled at 90% which is 1953 so then you want to divide 651 by 3 because all we need is 10 more percent to make it to 100% and 1/3 of 30% is 10% and 10% of 651 is 217. Finally all you have to do is add 217 and 1953 and you get 2,170 gallons.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

last one 2170

Answer:

651=30 percent

x=100 percent
