If a tank has a current water level of 1,200 gallons and a full capacity of 23,000 gallons, how much capacity is currently being utilized?

5.2%
6.4%
15.5%
8.1%

The correct answer is: 5.2%

To determine how much capacity is currently being utilized, you need to calculate the percentage of the current water level relative to the tank's full capacity. First, you take the current water level of 1,200 gallons and divide it by the full capacity of 23,000 gallons: 1,200 gallons / 23,000 gallons = 0.0521739 (approximately). Next, to convert this fraction into a percentage, you multiply by 100: 0.0521739 * 100 = 5.21739%, which can be rounded to 5.2%. This result signifies that about 5.2% of the tank's capacity is currently being utilized, making this the accurate answer. The correct answer showcases an understanding of how to calculate utilization percentage in practical scenarios.
