    Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%

    Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons

    Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons

    Then

    40% * x = 8

    (40/100) * x = 8

    4x/10 = 8

    4x = 8 * 10

    4x = 80

    x = 80/4

    = 20 gallons

    So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
