Answer:
The actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the farmer estimated amount of water is 25 gallons.
It is also given that he underestimate the water in tank by 16%.
Let the actual water in tank be x.
[tex](1-\frac{16}{100})x=25[/tex]
[tex](\frac{100-16}{100})x=25[/tex]
[tex]84x=25\times 100[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{2500}{84}[/tex]
[tex]x=29.7619[/tex]
[tex]x\approx 29.76[/tex]
Therefore the actual water in the tank is 29.76 gallons.
