After 62 litres of petrol was poured into an empty storage tank, it was still 1% empty. What is the total quantity of petrol (in litres, rounded off to two decimal places) that must be required into the tank to completely fill it?
Given:
62 liters of petrol is poured into the tank, and it is still 1% empty
Solution:
Let the total capacity of the storage tank be x liters.
After pouring 62 liters, the tank is 1% empty, meaning 99% of the tank is full. Therefore,
0.99 × x = 62
Thus, to fill the tank, petrol required is 62.63 liters
