At the end of the month, a certain ocean desalination plant’s reservoir contained 26 million gallons of water. This amount is eighth the normal level. If this amount represents 65% of the reservoir’s total capacity, how many million gallons short of total capacity is the normal level?  Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 15	B) 25	C) 35	D) 45	E) 55
the Q talks of total capacity, normal level, present level, shortage etc..   so it is all about not going wrong in these terms   26 MG= 65% of Total..   total = 26/.65= 
<gadget id="calculator">26/.65</gadget>
<output>40</output>
40 MG..   Normal level= 1/8 of 40=5MG..   shortage of normal level=40-5= 
<gadget id="calculator">40-5</gadget>
<output>35</output>
35MG..   35
<result>C</result>
