Answer 1

Answer:18

Step-by-step explanation: 50% of 12 is 6 which means that 12+6=18 and i believe that is the answer

Answer 2

18 gallons

Explanation:

To calculate this you just have to calculate a rule of three with both gas tanks, so if the dad´s car holds 12 gallons of gas, and the mom´s car holds 50% more that means 150% of in the rule of three:

`(12)/(100)= (x)/(150)\\ x=(12*150)/(100) \\x=(1800)/(100)\\ x=18`

So the total amount of gallons that the mom´s car tank can hold is 18 gallons.
