Respuesta :

40% is the same as 40/100.  40/100 is 648.  

Cross multiply

40/100 = 648/x (letting x be the capacity)

648x100 = 64800

divide by 40 = 1620

The capacity is 1620 gallons.

The total capacity of the tank will be 1620 gallons of water.

What is the percentage?

The Percentage is defined as representing any number with respect to the 100. It is denoted by the sign %.

It is given that:-

  • A tank that is 40 per cent full contains 648 gallons of water
  • What is the capacity of the tank?

The total capacity will be calculated as:-

40%      =     648  gallons of water

(40   /   4  ) %      =  648  /   4

10  %    =    162

10   x   10  %   =   162  x   10

100%     =   1620   gallons of water.

Therefore the total capacity of the tank will be 1620 gallons of water.
