A tank contains 2,000 milliliters of water. If its full capacity is 0.008 kiloliters, what percentage of the tank is empty?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 75%.
1 mililitre = 0.001 Litre
Water present in tank = 2000 mililitre = 2 Litre
Water in kilolitre = 2/1000 = 0.002
Volume that is empty = 0.008 - 0.002 = 0.006
Required percentage = (0.006/0.008) × 100
⇒ 300/4 = 75%
