Question

A truck like the one shown delivers a load of gasoline to a gas station 3 times a week. The storage tank at the gas station holds 9 loads of fuel. How much more gas does the storage tank hold than the truck.
The truck hauls 2,700 gallons.

Answer 1

Answer:

21,600 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The truck hauls 2,700 gallons.

Given :

A truck load of gasoline = 2700 gallons

Capacity of storage tank = 9 loads

Gallons of fuel which storage tank can take :

9 loads

1 load = 2700 gallons

9 * 2700 gallons

= 24300 gallons

Hence, the storage tank holds (9 - 1) = 8 more loads of gasoline than the truck :

24300 gallons - 2700 gallons = 21600 gallons
