    Considering that 34% of the total quantity of water was used to water the plants we can get to the solution of the problem.

    Total quantity of water in the barrel = 1513 liters

    Percent of water used for watering the plants = 34%

    Then

    Quantity of water used to water the plants = (34/100) * 1513

    = 514.42 liters

    So 514.42 liters of water was used from the barrel to water the plants.

    Quantity of water left in the barrel = 1513 - 514.42 liters

    = 998.58 liters

    So the quantity of water that is left in the barrel after watering the plants is 998.58 liters.

    If you have said in the question that 3/4 of the total quantity of water was used for watering the plants, then the solutions would be as given below

    Quantity of water used for watering the plants = (3/4) * 1513 liters

    = 1134.75 liters

    Amount of water left in the barrel after watering the plants = 1513 - 1134.75 liters

    = 378.25 liters.
