A standard showerhead in Andrew's house dispenses 8 gallons of water per minute. Andrew changed this showerhead to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new showerhead.

y = 3x

How much water does Andrew save each day with the change in showerheads if he uses the shower for 8 minutes each day?
A. 5 gallons B.16 gallons C.24 gallons D.40 gallons

Andrew uses 24 gallons everytime he takes a shower. 3 gallons × 8 min = 24 gallons.
