Question 1063055
Let {{{ w }}} = the width of the tank
{{{ 15*27*w = 405w }}} m3 is the capacity of the tank
{{{ 405w - 450 = 15*( 27 - 3 )*w }}}
{{{ 405w - 450 = 15*24*w }}}
{{{ 405w - 450 = 360w }}}
{{{ 45w = 450 }}}
{{{ w = 10 }}}
{{{ 405w = 4050 }}}
The breadth is 10 m
The capacity is 4050 m3
-------------------------
check answer:
The amount left after drawing off {{{ 450 }}} m3 is:
{{{ 4050 - 450 = 3600 }}}
and
{{{ 15*24*w = 15*24*10 }}}
{{{ 15*24*10 = 3600 }}}
OK
