Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%
Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons
Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons
Then
40% * x = 8
(40/100) * x = 8
4x/10 = 8
4x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 80/4
   = 20 gallons
So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

Reena bought a mobile phone for 16,240 that included a GST of 12%. Find the price of the mobile phone before the GST was added.​
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: 14500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the mobile phone before the GST was added be represented by x.

Therefore,

x + (12% × x) = 16240

x + 0.12x = 16240

1.12x = 16240

x = 16240/1.12

x = 14500

The price of the mobile phone before the GST was added was 14500

Solve x2 + 12x = –11 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Ann [662]
If you would like to solve the equation x^2 + 12 * x = -11, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x^2 + 12 * x = -11
<span>x^2 + 12 * x + 11 = 0
</span>(x + 1) * (x + 11) = 0
1. x = - 1
2. x = - 11

The correct result would be x = - 1, or x = - 11.
