Captured carbon dioxide can be used for different purposes. Food and beverage companies use 4 million metric tons (MMt) of carbon dioxide per year, which is 6% of all captured carbon dioxide. Enhanced oil and natural gas recovery uses 88% of all captured carbon dioxide. Create a formula where x = the amount of carbon dioxide used for enhanced oil and natural gas recovery. Solve for x.

The amount of CO2 used for enhanced oil and natural gas recovery is ___ MMt.

    Let y = the carbon dioxide used by f ood and beverage companies.

    y = 4 million metric tons (MMT)

    since y = 6% of all captured carbon dioxide,

    t = y/6 * 100

    where t is the total captured carbon dioxide, which = 66.67 MMT

    if e nhanced oil and natural gas recovery (x) uses 88% of all captured carbon dioxide,

    x = t/100 * 88

    = 58.67 MMT
