Can somebody help me understand this one thoroughly. Is an SAT Prep question
There are g gallons of paint available to paint a house. After n gallons have been used. Then, in terms of g and n percent of the paint has not been used?Solution
Initially we had g gallons of paint.
Now if n gallons are used then left amount = (g-n)
Therefore fraction of unused paint = left amount/ initial amount = (g-n)/g
If we change it to percentage then we need to multiply it by 100
Hence percentage of unused paint = (g-n)*100/g %
Therefore (E) is the correct option.
