people. So there are
ways to do it.
To solve
82% of x = 119.31
rewrite
x = 119.31/0.82
solve
x <span>≈ 145.5</span>
Hope this helps :)
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.
