Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The tonicity would be hypertonic because there is a higher solute concentration (40%) outside the cell compared to inside the cell (20%). The water will move out of the cell because it moves from high to low concentrations and outside the cell has a lower water concentration than inside the cell (60% to 80%).
