Question

A gas station sold 1625 gallons of refills fuel and 650 gallons of diesel fuel last month. What percent of the fuel sold was diesel to the nearest 10th of a percent?

Answer 1

Quantity of refills fuel sold by the gas station = 1625 gallons
Quantity of diesel fuel sold by the gas station = 650 gallons
These are the information's that are already given in the question. Based on these information's the correct answer to the question can be easily found.
Total quantity of fuel sold by the gas station = (1625 + 650) gallons
                                                                      = 2275 gallons.
Percentage of diesel fuel sold by the gas station = (650/2275) * 100
                                                                               = 65000/2275
                                                                               = 28.57
                                                                               = 28.6 percent
So the gas station sold 28.6% of gasoline.
