Answer:

gas barrels = 20,400,000

diesel barrels = 17,400,000

other barrels = 22,200,000

Explanation:

Total barrels = 60,000,000

gas = 34% of the barrels

diesel = 29% of the barrels

others = 37% of the barrels 100% - 34% - 29% = 37%

How many of each type of barrels?

60,000,000 × 34% = gas barrels ; 60,000,000 × .34 = 20,400,000

60,000,000 × 29% = diesel barrels; 60,000,000 × .29 = 17,400,000

60,000,000 × 37% = other barrels; 60,000,000 × .37 = 22,200,000

Check: Total barrels 60,000,000 = 60,000,000
