Hectoliters in a tank

The block tank held 288 hectoliters of water. The bottom dimensions are 12m and 6m, and the depth is 2m. What percent of the tank volume does the water occupy?

Final Answer:

p =  20 %

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=12\text{m} \\ b=6\text{m} \\ c=2\text{m} \\ {V}_1=288\text{hl}\to {\text{m}}^3=288:10{\text{m}}^3=28.8{\text{m}}^3 \\ {V}_2=a\cdot b\cdot c=12\cdot 6\cdot 2=144{\text{m}}^3 \\ p=\frac{V_1}{V_2}\cdot 100=\frac{28.8}{144}\cdot 100=20\% \end{gathered}$$
