    32.5%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    first we will have to calculate how much miles the car traveled, to do that we will multiply the speed by hour long the car was traveling for which is

    65*3=195

    During those 195 miles the car used 1 gallon for every 30 miles which means it used 6.5 gallons of its tank

    195/30=6.5

    6.5 gallons is 32.5% of 20 gallons

    6.5/20=0.325

    0.325 * 100 = 32.5%
