Question

The water in a reservoir decreased by 47% during a drought. Before the drought, the reservoir held 44,580 acre ft (AF) of water.

How much water did the reservoir hold, after the drought?

Answer 1

Multiply 44580 by .47
that gives you 20952.6 which equals 47% of the water
take the 44580, and subtract the 20952.6
giving you the remainder as your answer
23627.4
