Answer:

the percentage of water lost is 7.5%

Explanation:

first subtract 222 by 240 to know how much water was lost.

240 - 222 = 18

now divide the amount of water lost (18L) by the amount of water the tank originally had (240L)

18/240 = 0.075 = 7.5%

So, the percentage of water lost is 7.5%, with now the tank having 92.5% of water, compared to what it originally had.

I hope this helps! :)
