supie · Answer

All you have to do is $4*6$ I think

darkknight · Answer

not quite, 4 gallons per min, after 6 min you do 4 * 6
now we need to find percentage so whatever you get for 4*6, you divide that by 80 and get your percentage

darkknight · Answer

as a hint, you should get a number slightly above 25%, maybe like 30% ish, if you get a number for your percent close to that you are right

supie · Answer

So basically $4*6=?÷80$? 
@darkknight ?

darkknight · Answer
