Answer:
There is [tex]37.40[/tex] gallon of gas in the tank if [tex]6.5[/tex]% of the tank is empty
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that [tex]6.5[/tex]% of tank is empty.
Thus, the percentage of tank which is full is given by
[tex]100 -6.5\\= 93.5[/tex]%
It is also given that the tank contains [tex]40[/tex]gallons of gas. This implies that [tex]93.5[/tex]% of tank which is full is equivalent to [tex]40[/tex]gallons of gas
[tex]\frac{93.5}{100} * 40\\= 37.40[/tex] gallon
There is [tex]37.40[/tex] gallon of gas in the tank if [tex]6.5[/tex]% of the tank is empty
