    After 6 minutes the tub will be 30% full

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1

    Determine the total volume that will be filled by the faucet at time (t) using the expression below;

    V=R*T

    where;

    V=total volume

    R=flow rate, gallons per minute

    T=time in minutes

    In our case;

    V=unknown

    R=4 gallons per minute

    T=6 minutes

    replacing;

    V=4*6=24 gallons

    Total volume filled after 6 minutes=24 gallons

    Step 2

    Determine the percentage volume of the tab that will be filled after 6 minutes using the expression;

    percentage volume = (volume filled after 6 minutes/total volume) * 100

    where;

    volume filled after 6 minutes=24 gallons

    total volume=80 gallons

    replacing;

    percentage volume = (24/80) * 100=30%

    After 6 minutes the tub will be 30% full
