Question

What was the total production of gasoline and kerosene combined (in Barrels)

Answer 1

The amount of kerosene and gasoline produced is an illustration of equations.

44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced

Let

$x \to$ Proportion of kerosene

$y \to$  Proportion of Gasoline

So:

$x = 40\%$

$y = 34\%$

$Total = 60\ million$ ---- total barrels produced

The amount of Kerosene produced is:

$Kerosene =x \times Total$

$Kerosene =40\% \times 60\ million$

$Kerosene = 24\ million$

The amount of Gasoline produced is:

$Gasoline =y \times Total$

$Gasoline =34\% \times 60\ million$

$Gasoline =20.4\ million$

So, the total production of both is:

$Total = Kerosene + Gasolene$

$Total = 24\ million + 20.4\ million$

$Total = 44.4 million$

Hence, 44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced
