Answer:

62.5 tons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the tons of petroleum.

We have been given that we can get 30% of paraffin from some petroleum.

To find the the amount of petroleum we need to figure out x such that 30% of x is 18.75.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

\frac{30}{100}*x=18.75

Let us solve for x.

0.30*x=18.75

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 0.30.

\frac{0.30*x}{0.30}=\frac{18.75}{0.30}

x=62.5

Therefore, we need 62.5 tons of petroleum to get 18.75 tons of paraffin.
