Answer:

90000 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Capacity\ at\ 60\% = 540000[/tex]

Required

Determine the full capacity

Let the maximum number of gallons be m.

So, we have:

[tex]60\% * m = 54000[/tex]

Convert % to decimal

[tex]0.60 * m = 54000[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.60

[tex]m = \frac{54000}{0.60}[/tex]

[tex]m = 90000[/tex]

Hence, the maximum number of gallons it can hold is 90000 gallons
