Answer:
63 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Question: What is 18 percent of 350?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: Our output value is 350.
Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.
Step 3: From step 1 above, $350 = 100%.
Step 4: Similarly, x = 18%.
Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:
350 = 100%(1).
x = 18% (2).
Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both
equations have the same unit (%); we have
350/x = 100%/18%
Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives
x/350=18/100
⇒ x = 63
Therefore, 18% of 350 is 63.
