applying a rule of three

full tank ---- x gallons
.35x = 28
x = 28/.35 = 80 gallons

i was not sure if forgot the 0 at the end or not so i just gave the answer with the 0 if the ? did not require a 0 just take the 0 away at the end
Answered by mathhelper
well, is 80 = 800 ??
does 800 seem like a logical answer ?
Answered by juicy fruit
well sorry i was just trying to help wen i google the answer all the other sites have 800
Answered by mathhelper
trust me:

35% of 80
= 35/100*80 = 28

35% of 800
= 35/100*800 = 280 , so 800 is incorrect

SORRY FOR THE CONFUSMENT BUT BOTH ARE CORRECT DEPENDING ON THE ?
