Answer:
50 gallons of water leaked out of the swimming pool.
Total no. of gallons in the swimming pool = 1000
Percentage of water leaked = 5%
Gallons of water leaked = 5% of total no. of gallons
Gallons of water leaked = 5/100 * 1000
Gallons of water leaked = 5000/1000
Gallons of water leaked = 50 gallons
Therefore, 50 gallons of water leaked out of the swimming pool
