Question

Ava's aquarium is 95% filled with water. The tank holds 1,120 gallons of water. Select the remaining number of gallons of water needed to fill the aquarium to the top.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 56 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Percent filled = 95%

Total water can hold = 1120 gal

remaining water = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the 95% of 1120 gal

              1120 gal ------------------ 100%

                x           ------------------   95%

                      x = (95 x 1120) / 100

                      x = 106400 / 100

                      x = 1064 gal

2.- Calculate the remaining water by subtracting the previuos value to the total capacity.

Remaining water = 1120 - 1064

                             = 56 gal
