Answer:

The actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the farmer estimated amount of water is 25 gallons.

It is also given that he underestimate the water in tank by 16%.

Let the actual water in tank be x.

(1-\frac{16}{100})x=25

(\frac{100-16}{100})x=25

84x=25\times 100

x=\frac{2500}{84}

x=29.7619

x\approx 29.76

Therefore the actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.

Mathhhhhhh testtttt Add a statement, equation and concluding statement
Tom [10]

Answer:

Charlene earns $700 per week

Kristi earns $550 per week

Sascha earns $800 per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kristi earns 150 less than Charlene which is 100 less than Sascha, this is equal to the value of Sascha minus 250. We put this in the equation as s-250.

Together, they all earn $2050, so we must equal this to Charlene's value k+150, plus Kristi's value k, plus Sascha's value s.

<em>k+150+k+s=2050</em>

The next step here is to put the variables on one side and to put the numeric values on the other.

2k+s=1900

Like we said before, Kristi's value is equal to s-250, so we would replace k with that expression.

2(s-250)+s=1900

2s-500+s=1900

3s=2400

s= 800

We now have Sandra's weekly pay, which we can use to find the others' pay.

c= s-100

c= 800-100

c= 700

k= c-150

k= 700-150

k= 550
