Explanation

Since the Fossett flows at a rate of 4 gallons per minute, therefore in 6 minutes

[tex]6\times4=\text{ 24gallons}[/tex]

In 6 minutes, 24 gallons of water will be in the bathtub. We can then find the percentage of the tub that will be filled after six minutes as:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage}=\frac{number\text{ of gallons in the tub after six minutes}}{\text{Holding capacity}}\times100 \\ =\frac{24}{80}\times100 \\ \\ =30\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer: 30%
