Result:

In the tank, there are $37.40$ gallons of gas if $6.5$ % of the tank is unfilled

Detailed explanation:

It is stated that $6.5$ % of the tank is unfilled.

Therefore, the percentage of the tank that is filled is represented by

$100 -6.5\\= 93.5$ %

Additionally, it is noted that the tank holds $40$ gallons of gas. This means that $93.5$ % of the tank filled translates to $40$ gallons of gas

$\frac{93.5}{100} * 40\\= 37.40$ gallons

There are $37.40$ gallons of gas remaining in the tank if $6.5$ % of the tank is unoccupied
