People use water to​ cook, clean, and drink every day. An estimate of 26.5​% of the water used each day is for cleaning. If a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning​, how many gallons do they use every​ day?

My guy, this is what you need to do

260 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimate of 26.5​% of the water used each day is for cleaning and a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning​,

Percentage of water used for cleaning= 26.5%

Gallons of water used for cleaning= 68.9

Let the number of gallons used everyday be represented by g. This will give:

26.5% of g = 68.9

26.5/100 × g = 68.9

0.265 × g = 68.9

0.265g = 68.9

Divide both side by 0.265

0.265g/0.265 = 68.9/0.265

g= 260

260 gallons of water are used everyday.
