g = 114-11(t) if you need an actual number of minutes it will drain in just plugin were the t is any number you want for minutes

Answer 3

u see there is 114 gallon as total right? so basically every min it decreases 11 gallon per min but we dont know exact time so its t as the question says t minutes so the equation will be 114-11t cuz every t minute it decreases from the total
