Honestly, I do not understand the question.

Is it about 40% of the capacity of the tank ?

Or is it about 40% plus 28 litres ?

Or about the full capacity ?

Comment from student: 40% of the tank is full. To make 75% you add 28L on to the 40%.
You will need to use this information to solve how many L a fuel tank holds.
