60L tank was full of petrol . Peter use 30% of it and poured the rest into a 50L tank . What percent of 50l tank was filled with petrol

$\huge\mathfrak\green{ solution}$

Petrol in the tank = 60 L

30% of it = 60 × 30 / 100

= 18 L

remaining = 60 - 18

= 42 L

Given that 42 L is poured into 50 L tank,

percentage of

petrol in

50 L tank = (42 / 50) × 100

= 84 %
