The answer would be 5,318,000 more barrels were consumed by the U.S than Japan
First, we must express the ratio of rent to Joel's total earning. 375 out of 1500 in its simplest form is 1/4. To express a value in percentage, we must multiply it to 100. Thus, for this case, we have
1/4 x 100 = 25%
That means, out of a total of 100%, Joel spends 25%<span>of his income on rent.</span>
The answer you seek you just need to take 325 and divide it by 500 to get .65 and change .65 to 65%. And to make sure you multiply 500 by .65 to get 325.
Hope I helped
