A standard showerhead in Reyna's house dispenses 9 gallons of water per minute. Reyna changed this showerhead to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new showerhead.

y = 3x

How much water does Reyna save each day with the change in showerheads if he uses the shower for 8 minutes each day?
