By the removal of 35% of water in the washing machine this means that 65% of the water will remain in the clothes after washing. Thus, the amount of water in the clothes will be equal to initial amount times 65%.
water left = (3 pints)(0.65)
water left = 1.95 pints
Therefore, the amount of water that is left in the clothes is equal to 1.95 pints.
