Question

A tank was filled with 350 gallons of water. Then a crack developed and 18% of the water leaked out of the tank before it could be repaired. How much water leaked out of the tank?

Answer 1

63 gallons

Explanation:

Question: What is 18 percent of 350?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 350.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above, $350 = 100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x = 18%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

350 = 100%(1).

x = 18% (2).

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

350/x = 100%/18%

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/350=18/100

⇒ x = 63

Therefore, 18% of 350 is 63.

Answer 2
