Given:

Capacity of jet plane = 200,000 liters of fuel

Fuel used during flight = 130,000 liters

To find:

The percentage of the fuel capacity it uses on this flight.

Solution:

According to the question, we need to find 130,000 is what percent of 200,000.


\text{Required percentage}=\frac{\text{Fuel used during flight}}{\text{Capacity of jet plane}}* 100


\text{Required percentage}=(130000)/(200000)* 100


\text{Required percentage}=65

Therefore, the jet plane uses 65 percent of fuel capacity during flight.
