The next day the gas tank in dad’s car holds 24 gallons. The gas tank in mom’s truck holds 50% less than that. How much gas does the truck’s tank hold?

Answer:

Mom's truck would hold 12 gallons.

Explanation:

If you take 24 and divide it into 2 parts you would get your answer because 50% would be half of the whole number of that makes any sense

24 gallons * .5
