The correct answer is 25%.
To calculate the percentage increase, you would find the difference between the new amount and the original amount, and then divide that difference by the original amount.
In this case, the difference is 40 oz - 32 oz = 8 oz.
Then, divide 8 oz by 32 oz: 8/32 = 0.25.
Finally, multiply 0.25 by 100 to find the percentage: 0.25 * 100 = 25%.
Therefore, Brinlyn increased the amount of water she drank per day by 25%.
