Answer:the percent decrease in the amount of water from 35gallons to 32 gallons is 8.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial amount of water was 35 gallons.
Due to a leak, the amount changed to 32 gallons after 1 hour. After another hour, it decreased to 26 gallons.
The amount of water that was lost when the amount changed from 35 gallons to 32 gallons after 1 hour is
35 - 32 = 3 gallons.
Therefore, the percent decrease in the amount of water from 35 gallons to 32 gallons would be
3/35 × 100 = 8.6%
