Question

at the friendly fuel stop Gas Station, Sam filled 75% of his 12 gallon tank with gas. How many gallons of gas did Sam put into his tank?

Answer 1

Given:

Total capacity if tank is 12 gallons.

Percentage of fuel filled in the tank is, 75%.

It is given that 75% of 12 gallons tank is filled.

Then, consider the gallons of filled as x.

`\begin{gathered} (75)/(100)\cdot12=x \\ x=(75\cdot12)/(100) \\ x=(900)/(100) \\ x=9 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the gallonos of gas fuel filled in tank is 9 gallons.
