Question

Ava’s aquarium is 95% filled with water. The tank holds 1,120 gallons of water. Which is the remaining number of gallons of water needed to fill the aquarium to the top?

Answer 1

The aquarium needs 56 more gallons to be completely filled.

Explanation:

To get the amount remaining you have to first divide 1120 by 100

1120/100=11.2

Then multiply it by 95

11.2*95=1064

You take the maximum amount (1120) and subtract the amount in the tank (1064) to get the amount left.

1120-1064= 56

With 56 gallons as your final answer.
