Answer:
68%
Explanation:
Initial volume of water in the tank before draining = 425 gallons
After 5 mins of draining, 32% of the volume of the water was present.
We would assume the 425 gallons of water in the bathtub means the bathtub is at 100% full capacity.
What percent of water is left in the tub after 5 minutes of draining is calculated as
100% - 32% = 68%
An explanation for my reasoning is because,
The initial quantity of water in the bathtub is 425 gallons
32% volume of water was drained after 5 mins
Volume of water drained after 5 mins in gallons = 32% × 425 gallons
= 136 gallons was lost after draining.
The volume of water left in the bathtub after draining for 5 minutes = 425gallons - 136gallons
= 289 gallons.
In other to know what 289 gallons of water after draining is in percentage =
( Number of gallons left in the bathtub after draining for 5 mins ÷ Total number of gallons of water initially present in bathtub) × 100%
= (289÷425) × 100%
= 68%
Hence, the percent of the water remains in the tub after five minutes is 68%.
