Hectoliters in a tank

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

Final Answer:

p =  20 %

Step-by-step explanation:

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