The total water usage for a city is 25,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 16% is for personal use and 42% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
10,350
4,800
6,500
9,000

Solution

42% of the water consumption is industrial use and 16% is personal use so (42% - 16%) = 26% more water is used for industrial purposes. 25,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{26}{100} \) x 25,000 gallons = 6,500 gallons.
