Answer:
gas barrels = 20,400,000
diesel barrels = 17,400,000
other barrels = 22,200,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Total barrels = 60,000,000
gas = 34% of the barrels
diesel = 29% of the barrels
others = 37% of the barrels 100% - 34% - 29% = 37%
How many of each type of barrels?
60,000,000 × 34% = gas barrels ; 60,000,000 × .34 = 20,400,000
60,000,000 × 29% = diesel barrels; 60,000,000 × .29 = 17,400,000
60,000,000 × 37% = other barrels; 60,000,000 × .37 = 22,200,000
Check: Total barrels 60,000,000 = 60,000,000
