Answer: About 99.27% of water was​ lost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Water used in one day = 32.99 L

Quantity of water recycled = 0.24 L

Water lost = (Water used in one day) -(Quantity of water recycled)

= 32.99 L - 0.24 l

= 32.75 L

The percent of the water was​ lost = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Water lost}}{\text{Water used in one day }}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{32.75}{32.99}\times100\\\\\approx 99.27\%[/tex]

Hence, about 99.27% of water was​ lost.
