Answer:

Total gallons of fresh water in the tank [tex]3.1926*10^3[/tex] gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of fresh water = [tex]100%-6.1%[/tex]

                                            =93.9%

Total number of gallons of water in tank = [tex]3.4*10^3[/tex]   (given in the question)

Therefore,

Total gallons of fresh water in the tank   =  [tex]3.4*10^3*93.9/100[/tex]

                                                                  =[tex]3.1926*10^3[/tex] gallons.
