answer:
29 gallons.
explanation:
to find the percent of a number, you must multiply that number by the prevent in the form of a decimal. i.e 16% =0.16
25 * 0.16 =4
25 + 4 = 29
you add the 4 because that is 16% of 25 and you’re adding it because there were more gallons than estimated.
if this is wrong i apologize but if it’s right would you mind giving brainliest?
