Geometric or real-world application leading to a quadratic equation
A fuel distributor owns tanker trucks with a capacity of 30,000 liters each. In any transport carried out by these trucks, the same volume of fuel is discarded because it contains many impurities. This discarded volume is independent of the quantity transported.
A gas station ordered 10,000 liters of gasoline from this distributor, which sent 10,200 liters, considering the volume discarded in transport. Nevertheless, the amount of gasoline delivered to the gas station was 9,900 liters.
In a new order, this gas station requested that exactly double the volume of gasoline ordered in the previous order be delivered.
Using the same truck from the previous delivery, what is the minimum volume of gasoline, in liters, that the distributor should send to guarantee delivery of the ordered quantity in this new order?
(A) 20,100
(B) 20,200
(C) 20,300
(D) 20,400
(E) 20,600
