Answer 1

The total income from gasoline was 408 million

Gasoline is 34% of the products from oil?

Answer 2

All those percents add up to 110%, hmm

Answer 3

No, it's pie chart, with gasoline at 34% kerosene 14%, lubricating at 15% Other products 18% and Diesel at 29%, they want to know the cost of a barrel of gasoline since the total income for gasoline from aer the company was 408 million

Answer 4

That pie chart adds up to 110%, is that right?

Answer 5

I'm not adding the percentages, the only answers that are available are the ones from A-E on the multiple choice that I showed.

Answer 6

Right, i am just saying, a pie chart totals 100%, and all those pieces of the pie add up to more than 100%

Answer 7

That alone should help

Answer 8

alright, yeah you mistyped it

Answer 9

What did I type wrong?

Answer 10

and the 60 million total barrels is important too. One of the percents was typed wrong, it adds to 100 from the web page now

Answer 11

Okay, I see.

Answer 12

So how do I solve this?

Answer 13

I Need to know how as soon as possible.

Answer 14

ok i see now

Answer 15

the pie chart represents 60 million barrels

34% of that 60 million = 20.4 million barrels of gasoline

If they made 408 million from gasoline, and 20.4 million barrels were made, the money per barrel is:

408/20.4 = 20 dollars per barrel of gasoline

Answer 16

understand that?

Answer 17

Yeah, I understand thank you for your help.

Answer 18

34% of 60,000,000 barrels CRUDE OIL = 20,400,000 barrels of GASOLINE

408,000,000 dollars made from GASOLINE
\[\frac{ 408,000,000~dollars ~from ~Gasoline }{ 20,400,000~Barrels~Gasoline } = \frac{ 20 ~dollars }{ ~barrel ~of ~gasoline }\]

Answer 20

One more quick question, 700k in tons would be how many tons???

Answer 21

i was just confused at first, cuz the 60 million total barrels wasnt included in the question

Answer 22

Yeah, sorry about that.

Answer 23

700,000 what? pounds, kilograms?

Answer 24

a metric ton is different from a US ton

Answer 25

Well, I'm going to show you what I did

I did 25,000,000, * 28 %

Answer 26

Then hit the percents sign and get 700k, did I do it right?

Answer 27

oh, you dont have to convert units here

Answer 28

I use to be excellent at math, just had bad teachers for the last few years, so I'm behind.

Answer 29

25.0 million tons x 0.28 = 7 million tons

Answer 30

28% = 0.28

Answer 31

move the decimal over 2 spaces to change a percent to a decimal number
