Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Remember you have to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. I'll help you to understand this problem, but I have to assume some things.

We know that the empty cup in the shape of a cylinder is being filled with water. Suppose the volume of this cylinder is:


V=450cm^3

Suppose that the cup is filled at a constant rate of
s=50cm^3/s, so in 7 seconds the cup is filled the following amount:


V'=50* 7=350cm^3

So this represents the following percentage:


(V')/(V)*100=(350)/(450)* 100=77.78\%

Finally, after 7 seconds the cup is 77.78% filled
