Answer to Question #110318 in Algebra for zariah

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

1120 gallons of water represent 100%.

Let's calculate how many gallons the aquarium is filled with:

x = (95% * 1120 gallons) / 100% = 1064 gallons.

The remaining number of gallons of water needed to fill the aquarium to the top is

1120 gallons - 1064 gallons=56 gallons.

The answer is 56 gallons.
