Solution

a) If 3 liters of water is 7.5% of the original volume, then the volume of water in the tank after one day would be 100% - 7.5% = 92.5% of the original volume.

b) To find the original volume of water in the tank, we can set up the equation 3 liters = 7.5% of the original volume. Solving for the original volume gives us 3 liters / 0.075 = 40 liters. Therefore, after one day, the volume of water in the tank would be 40 liters - 3 liters = 37 liters.
