Answer: The drive was 24.32% full when the transfer began.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The rate of transferring file = 4.44 megabytes per second.

After 32 seconds, the amount of data on the drive = 384 megabytes

The amount of transferred data =
32*4.4=140.8 megabytes

Therefore, the amount of data in the drive at the beginning is given by :-


\text{Beginning amount=Amount after 32 seconds -Amount transferred}\\\\\Rightarrrow\ \text{Beginning amount=}384-140.8=243.2

The drive had a maximum capacity of 1000 megabytes.


(243.2)/(1000)*100=24.32\%

Hence, the drive was 24.32% full when the transfer began.
