Answer: The drive was 24.32% full when the transfer began.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The rate of transferring file = 4.44 megabytes per second.
After 32 seconds, the amount of data on the drive = 384 megabytes
The amount of transferred data = \(32\times4.4=140.8\) megabytes
Therefore, the amount of data in the drive at the beginning is given by :-
\(\text{Beginning amount=Amount after 32 seconds -Amount transferred}\\\\\Rightarrrow\ \text{Beginning amount=}384-140.8=243.2\)
The drive had a maximum capacity of 1000 megabytes.
\(\frac{243.2}{1000}\times100=24.32\%\)
Hence, the drive was 24.32% full when the transfer began.
