Question

A tank that's hold 15 000L has only 3 600L in it what percentage of the tank is full.

Answer 1

24 percent.

You have to cross multiply.

Answer 2

24 percent.

Answer 3

well, let's convert this to something that makes a little more sense.  Say a test has 15000 questions and you answer 3600 of them correctly.  How do you figure out what percent you got right?  Take the 3600 and divide it by 15000.  The answer?  Well, your calculator can tell you that.

Answer 4

Guess.

Okay... I'll help. Take the proportion that it is full. Multiply that by 100 to get percent.

What proportion is it full? There are 3600 L out of 15000 L capacity, so it is 3600/15000 full. Do the division. Multiply that result by 100, and tack on the '%' symbol! ;)

Answer 5

23.99976%

Answer 6

3.6/15 x 100/1 =24%

Answer 7

You have to do a preportion

3600

---------       X     ------------

15000 ...........  100

Multiply 3600 times 100

Then divide answer by 15000.

24% IS THE ANSWER

Answer 8

24%  

Answer 9

divide 3600 (the amount you have) by 15000 (the amount possible) and multiply by 100 (because the answer will be a decimal number that needs to be multiplied by the possible percentage).

(3600/15000)*100=24%

If you want verification I have provided a website below.

Answer 10

it is 24% full. [ to find it out, divide 3600 by 15000, then move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right, and that is your percentage! =)

Answer 11

You would divide the amount contained by the capacity.  3600 / 15000.

Imagine a measuring cup.  It holds 8 ounces of water.  If it has 4 ounces, you know that would be half a cup.  To get that percentage, you would divide 4 by 8, or the amount by the capacity.

I'm assuming you know how to convert a decimal to a percentage.

Answer 12

10 percent

Answer 13

its a fraction 3600/15000, so divide.  3600 divided by 15000= .24 so 24%

Answer 14

3600/15000 ×100/1  =360000/15000 =24%

they are suppose to be fractions.
