What percentage of the total variation in highway fuel consumption can be explained by the linear correlation

Question:

What percentage of the total variation in highway fuel consumption can be explained by the linear correlation between weight and highway fuel consumption?

Refer to the Minitab display obtained by using the paired data consisting of weights (in lb) of 32 cars and their highway fuel consumption amounts (in mi gal), as listed in Data Set 16 in Appendix B. Along with the paired sample data, Minitab was also given a car weight of 4000 lb to be used for predicting the highway fuel consumption amount.
