The total water usage for a city is 45,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 35% is for personal use and 62% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
1,200
650
700
12,150

Solution

62% of the water consumption is industrial use and 35% is personal use so (62% - 35%) = 27% more water is used for industrial purposes. 45,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{27}{100} \) x 45,000 gallons = 12,150 gallons.

4z7 x 4z3
(4 x 4)z(7 + 3)
16z10
