Answer 1

Catherine put in 20 gallons of water in the hot tub.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many gallons of water Catherine put in the hot tub, we need to determine the difference between the initial water level and the recommended water level. Let's say the recommended water level is 100 gallons and the initial water level is 80 gallons. Catherine filled the hot tub above the recommended level, so let's say she added an additional 20 gallons of water. Therefore, Catherine put in 20 gallons of water in the hot tub.
