Question

Shaniyah drives a truck for a living. While out on the road delivering fruit to a grocery store, she stops to fill up the gas tank. She puts 102.85 gallons of gas in the truck. If the tank holds 120 gallons of gas, how much gas was remaining in the tank before she filled it up? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how much gas was remaining in the tank before Shaniyah filled it up, we need to subtract the amount of gas she put in from the tank's capacity.

Tank capacity - gas filled = remaining gas

120 gallons - 102.85 gallons = 17.15 gallons

Therefore, there were 17.15 gallons of gas remaining in the tank before she filled it up.
