How many liters of fuel are used on the second day?
In a car's fuel tank there are 60 liters of fuel. On the first day 10% of the fuel is used and on the second day 15% of the fuel is used.
How many liters of fuel are used on the second day?
To solve this problem, follow these steps:
Identify original fuel quantity and calculate daily usage based on percentage.
Determine the remaining fuel after the first day's usage.
Calculate the liters used on the second day based on remaining fuel.
Let's go through the solution step-by-step:
Step 1: Calculate 10% of 60 liters (fuel used on the first day).
Step 2: Calculate remaining fuel after the first day:
Step 3: Calculate 15% of the remaining fuel for usage on the second day:
Therefore, the amount of fuel used on the second day is 8.1 liters.
