Answer 1

675 gallons of syrup

96 cans

Explanation:

Capacity of tank = 1,000 gallons

Danielle filled 65 5-gallon cans with syrup.

Gallons filled = 65 × 5 gallons

= 325 gallons of syrup

Gallons left in the tank = 1,000 - 325 gallons of syrup

= 675 gallons of syrup

3 12-packs Of regular cola = 3 × 12 packs = 36 packs

4 12- packs of diet cola = 4 × 12 packs = 48 packs

2 6-packs of orange soda = 2 × 6 packs = 12 packs

Total cans = 36 + 48 + 12

= 96 cans
