The percentage of the tub after 6 minutes is 30 %

How to find the percentage?

The calculation can be done as follows:

1 minutes= 4 gallons

Thus:

6 minutes= 4×6

= 24 minutes

If the bathtub can hold 80 gallons of water then the percentage of the tub after 6 minutes can be calculated as follows:

= 24/80

= 0.3 × 100

= 30 %

Hence the percentage of the tub will be filled after 6 minutes is 30 %

Complete question is:

A bathtub can hold 80 gallons of water. The faucet flows at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. What percentage of the tub will be filled after 6 minutes.
