Answer:

[tex]160\ \text{s}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality that represents the situation is

[tex]500-2.5t<100[/tex] where [tex]t[/tex] is the time in seconds

[tex]\Rightarrow -2.5t<100-500[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow -2.5t<-400[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 2.5t>400[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t>\dfrac{400}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t>160\ \text{s}[/tex]

So, the time after which there will be less than 100 gallons of water is [tex]160\ \text{s}[/tex].
