Question

A certain car holds about 20 gallons of fuel. It used 13 gallons during a journey-What percentage of the fuel capacity did the car use?

Answer 1

65%

Step-by-step explanation

The car holds about 20 gallons of fuel and it used 13 gallons of fuel.

To find the percentage of fuel capacity used by the car, we have to divide the amount of fuel used by the total of fuel in the car before the journey and multiply by 100.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \% fuel = }(13)/(20)\cdot\text{ 100} \\ \text{ \% fuel = 65\%} \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
