a water heater tank holds 280 gallons. two percent of the water is lost as steam how many gallons remain to be used?

Respuesta :

280 gallons is 100 %

if 2% were to be lost, you will be left with 98 percent

2% of 280 is 5.6

If you take 5.6 out of 280, you will have 274.4

So 98 percent, which is 274.4 gallons remain to be used

Answer:

274.4 gallons of water remains to be used.

Explanation:

Volume of the water in the tank = 280 gallon

Volume of water lost = 2% of 280 gallon =[tex]\frac{2}{100}\times 280 gallon=5.6 gallon[/tex]

Volume of water left after lost of 2% of water:

[tex]280 gallon - 5.6 gallon =274.4 gallon[/tex]

274.4 gallons of water remains to be used.
