Question

Andrew calculated that 15% of the water from his pool

evaporated in one day. If the pool holds 750 gallons of
water, how many gallons of water remained after the
evaporation?
a 637.5
b 683
с 699
d 715.5

Answer 1

637.5 gallons

Explanation:

You will have to caclulate 15% of 750.

15% is also 0.15

So 0.15 x 750=112.5

So that means 112.5 gallons evaporated

750-112.5=637.5
