Question

when full the gas tank of a car holds 15 gallons. it now contains 12 gallons. what percent represents how full the tank is?

Answer 1

Hello!

to find the percent of a whole, use this equation here:

(remaining) / (total) = X

X * 100 = %

in this case:

12 / 15 = 0.8

0.8 * 100 = 80

your answer is 80%

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
