If container A holds 8 gallons of water and container B holds 12% more than container A, how many gallons of water does container B hold?
1.12 * 8 = ?
To find the number of gallons of water that container B holds, we need to calculate 12% (12/100) of the capacity of container A and add it to the capacity of container A.
First, let's calculate 12% of the capacity of container A:
12% of 8 gallons = (12/100) * 8 gallons = 0.12 * 8 gallons = 0.96 gallons
Next, we add this amount to the capacity of container A:
Capacity of container B = Capacity of container A + 12% of the capacity of container A
= 8 gallons + 0.96 gallons
= 8.96 gallons
Therefore, container B holds 8.96 gallons of water.
To find the number of gallons of water container B holds, we need to calculate the 12% increase from container A.
First, we calculate the increase amount by multiplying 12% by the amount in container A:
12% of 8 gallons = (12/100) * 8 gallons = 0.12 * 8 gallons = 0.96 gallons
Therefore, container B holds an additional 0.96 gallons of water compared to container A.
To find the total amount in container B, we add this increase to the amount in container A:
Container B = Container A + Increase
Container B = 8 gallons + 0.96 gallons
Container B = 8.96 gallons
Thus, container B holds 8.96 gallons of water.
