A tank contains 10,000 gallons of a solution that is 5 percent sodium chloride by volume. If 5,500 gallons of water evaporate from the tank, the remaining solution will be approximately what percent sodium chloride?	Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 1.25 %	B) 3.75 %	C) 6.25 %	D) 6.67 %	E) 11.11 %

Rationale: the remaining solution will be approximately what percent sodium chloride ? means : what percent of the remaining solution is sodium chloride . now , since the remaining solution is 10,000 - 5,500 = 4,500 gallons and sodium chloride is 500 gallons ( 5 % of initial solution of 10,000 gallons ) then sodium chloride is 500 / 4,500 * 100 = ~ 11.11 % of the remaining solution of 4,500 gallons . answer : e .
Answer: E
