The amount of kerosene and gasoline produced is an illustration of equations.
44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced
Let
[tex]x \to[/tex] Proportion of kerosene
[tex]y \to[/tex] Proportion of Gasoline
So:
[tex]x = 40\%[/tex]
[tex]y = 34\%[/tex]
[tex]Total = 60\ million[/tex] ---- total barrels produced
The amount of Kerosene produced is:
[tex]Kerosene =x \times Total[/tex]
[tex]Kerosene =40\% \times 60\ million[/tex]
[tex]Kerosene = 24\ million[/tex]
The amount of Gasoline produced is:
[tex]Gasoline =y \times Total[/tex]
[tex]Gasoline =34\% \times 60\ million[/tex]
[tex]Gasoline =20.4\ million[/tex]
So, the total production of both is:
[tex]Total = Kerosene + Gasolene[/tex]
[tex]Total = 24\ million + 20.4\ million[/tex]
[tex]Total = 44.4 million[/tex]
Hence, 44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced
