Question

The gas tank of the truck holds 30 gallons the gas tank of a passenger car holds 50% less how many gallons does it hold?

I think the answer is 15 gallons, Am I correct?

Answer 1

15 gallons

Explanation:

To find how much the passenger car holds, we need to first find what 50% of the trucks gas tank holds.

Truck Gas Tank = 30 gallons

Now we find how much 50% of 30 is:

50% = 0.50

Total = 30 x 0.50

Total = 15 Gallons

So the passenger car holds 15 gallons of gas.
