Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this easily with proportions. If the tank is 20% full and has 500 gallons in it, when it is 100% full, it will have a proportional amount of water in it:
where the percentages are on the top and the number of gallons is on the bottom of those ratios.
Cross multiply to solve for x:
20x = 50000 so
x = 2500 gallons, max capacity
a cheap way to go about it is, let's do away with the denominators, and we'll do so by simply multiplying both sides by the the LCD of all fractions, in this case, that'd be "ab", so we multiply both sides by "ab".
