The answer fir your question is 300.

Dominik · Answer 2

Answer: 300 liters.

Step-by-step explanation: It says we gain 15 liters per minute. Therefore, by simply taking 15 and multiplying it by 5, we get 75. We then add that to what the sensor has, due to it not having any time once it reached 225 liters.

Not relevant to the question, but just incase, by looking at 225 liters being in the tank, we know that it's been 15 minutes before the sensors started working.
