Answer:

54 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the volume of the full tank.

When the water tank is 30% full;

= 30% of x = 0.30x

when it is 20% empty:

= x - 20% of x = x - 0.20x = 0.80x

The difference is given as 27.

So, we can represent the question on an equation as;

0.80x - 0.30x = 27

Solving the equation, we have;

0.50x = 27

x = 27/0.50

x = 54 gallons

The tank can hold 54 gallons when it is full.

In your problem:
p = 18.3% = 0.183
n = 130

The standard error can be calculated by the formula:
SE = √[p · (1 - p) / n]
     = √[0.183 · (1 - 0.183) / 130]
     = 0.0339

The standard error of the proportion is 0.034.

The nature center: y=4$*x+95$
The zoo: y=9$*x+75$
4x+95=9x+75⇒5x=20⇒x=20/5
x=4, y=111
<span>If Ms. Corley has 22 students in her class, cost for nature center would be 4$*22+95$=183$ and for the zoo 9$*22+75$=273$.
