15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal

Answer:
5 sq. ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a rectangle, use this formula: A = lw.
Because you know two side lengths of the window, you can just plug in the numbers to the formula.
But not yet! You need to convert the given lengths into feet first.
You know that there are 12 inches in 1 foot.
So:
24 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 2 feet
30 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 2.5 feet
Alright, now you can plug in these lengths into the formula.
A = (2) (2.5) = 5 sq. ft.
The question asks you to round, but there is nothing to round, so you are done here.
