Question

a jet plane can carry up to 200,000 liters of fuel. it used 130,000 liters of fuel during a flight. what percentage of the fuel capacity did it not use on this flight?
a 35%
c 154%

b 65%
d 78%

Explanation:

Step1: Find unused fuel

Unused fuel = Total capacity - Used fuel = \(200000 - 130000 = 70000\) liters.

Step2: Calculate percentage of unused fuel

Percentage = \(\frac{\text{Unused fuel}}{\text{Total capacity}} \times 100\% = \frac{70000}{200000} \times 100\% = 35\%\).

Answer:

A. 35%
