The video tutorial explains how to determine the initial volume of water in Jughead's hot tub before it started leaking. It uses a graph showing the rate of water drainage over time and applies concepts from calculus, such as finding the area under a curve, to calculate the total volume of water. The tutorial also demonstrates the use of the trapezoid rule for calculating areas under non-linear graphs, ultimately concluding that 620 gallons of water were initially in the hot tub.
