The total water usage for a city is 15,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 30% is for personal use and 59% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
16,000
2,800
4,350
500

Solution

59% of the water consumption is industrial use and 30% is personal use so (59% - 30%) = 29% more water is used for industrial purposes. 15,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{29}{100} \) x 15,000 gallons = 4,350 gallons.

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{4!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3}{1} \)
