First we have to find how much gas was used: We divide 3.3 by 129 to see how many 3.3 is in 129 (if that make sense) However, we will get 39.09 Since one gallon is 3.3 miles then 39.09 gallons of gas was used. So how much is now left we minus 180-39.09 = 140.91 We now find what percentage is 140.91 of 180. n/100 × 180 = 140.91 n/100 = 140.91/180 n/100 = n = 0.7828*100 n = 78.28
It is impossible for the number values of this number to be a natural number since natural numbers are defined as being positive integers while the number "x" has to be less than -5 to satisfy the equation.
