Question

A water tank is currently three-quarters full. If 2500 gallons are drained, the tank will be one-third full. How many gallons of water can the tank hold when full?

Answer 1

Hey dear here is your answer!!!!!

___________________________

Let the gallons the tank can hold when it is full be x.

Therefore, it currently has $\frac{3x}{4}$ gallons of water.

If 2500 gallons are drained then it has $\frac{x}{3}$ gallons of water.

According to question:-

$\frac{3x}{4}$ - 2500 =  $\frac{x}{3}$

LCM on left hand side:-

$\frac{3x-10000}{4}$ =  $\frac{x}{3}$

Cross multiplication:-

9x - 30000 = 4x

Transposing:-

5x = 30000

x =  $\frac{30000}{5}$

x = 6000

So, the tank can hold 6000 gallons of water !
