Math Problem Statement

used 12% of gas in your tank what percentage remains

Solution

If you have used 12% of the gas in your tank, the percentage of gas that remains in the tank can be calculated by subtracting the used percentage from 100%.

Percentage remaining=100%12%\text{Percentage remaining} = 100\% - 12\%

Percentage remaining=88%\text{Percentage remaining} = 88\%

So, 88% of the gas remains in your tank.
