The rate of water use is
+60+%2F+20+=+3+ gallons/day per person
In +5+ days, each person would use:
{{ 5*3 = 15 gallons }}}
------------------------
+25+ people would use:
+25%2A15+=+375+ gallons

If one person uses 60 gallons in 25 days: 60 gal/25 days=2.4 gallons/day
At the rate of 2.4 gal/day per person:
(25 people)(5 days)(2.4 gal/day/person)= 300 gallons
ANSWER At the rate of 2.4 gallons per day per person, 25 people will use 300 gallons of water in five days.
