The total water usage for a city is 15,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 14% is for personal use and 49% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
6,900
6,500
4,400
5,250

Solution

49% of the water consumption is industrial use and 14% is personal use so (49% - 14%) = 35% more water is used for industrial purposes. 15,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{35}{100} \) x 15,000 gallons = 5,250 gallons.
