Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have 60,000,000 barrels of crude oil and 34% of the barrels are gasoline then you have to set up the problem like this because you have to find out how much 34% of 60,000,000 is first in order to solve the problem.
is/of x 100/%
60,000,000 / a X 100 / 34
so..60,000,000 x 34 = 2,040,000,000
then divide that amount by 100= 2,040,000,000 / 100 = 20, 400,000
so the 34% actually is the total 20,400,000. Now, you divide the dollar amount 408,000,000 million barrels by the total amount of gasoline which is 20,400,000.
408,000,000 / 20,400,000 = 20
So each barrel of gasoline cost $20.
