.

(a)  To answer (a), substitute x= 30 into the given formula; then calculate.

     I sincerely hope that my help is not needed anymore in this step.



(b)  The inverse function is  y = x%2F3.8,  converting liters x into gallons y.



(c)  To find the equivalent volume in gallons of 100-liter water, substitute x= 100 into my formula in (b);

     then calculate.


Solved,  explained,  and you are fully instructed.
