In order to fill his fish tank to capacity Jamal needs to put 25 gallons of water into the tank. If Jamal has 12.5% of the tank filled with water, how much more water does he need to put into the tank?

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]21\frac{7}{8} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]12.5\% = \frac{1}{8} [/tex]

[tex]25 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{25}{8} = 3 \frac{1}{8} [/tex]

[tex]25 - 3 \frac{1}{8} = 24 \frac{8}{8} - 3 \frac{1}{8} =21\frac{7}{8} [/tex]
