As the question uses fractions the answer should be in fractions.
The total volume of the tank is 6034 litres
This solution is using algebra but it is in disguise
Explanation:
The question is not complete in its description, in that it does not state if the water is removed or added.
The change is 59to 23
which is the same as 59to 69
As 69 is more than the starting point then it is added.
The difference is 19 as a consequence of adding 634 litres.
So 19×tank=634 litres.
Multiply both sides by 9.
9×19×tank=9×634
1×tank=9×274=6034 litres
