How many gallons does a full tank hold?

If 24 gallons of water are poured into an empty tank, then 3/4 of the tank is filled. How many gallons does a full tank hold?

Let V be the full volume of tank.
3/4 of tank = 24 gallons
3/4 * V = 24
V = 24 * 4/3 = 32

The full tank will hold 32 gallons of water.
