Answer:
40 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of gallons that would completely fill the bathtub be represented by N.
Since 12 gallons of water gives 30% of the number of gallons to fill the bathtub, then;
30% of N = 12
x N = 12
30N = 12 x 100
30N = 1200
divide both sides by 30,
N =
= 40
The number of gallons that would completely fill the bathtub is 40 gallons.
