1- The answer is that she wants the new time to be 32 minutes
Solution: The question asks that she wants to DECREASE by 20%
What you will do it convert 20% to a decimal (which is 0.20)
Then, you need to multiply the minutes by the decimal:
40 x 0.20 = 8 minutes
Now you know that 8 minutes will be 20% of 40 minutes, so you just subtract 8 from 40 UwU

Answer:
ai) 73000 gal/yr
aii) $730 per year
b) 1000 days
Step-by-step explanation:
ai) The water usage per day is ...
(4 showers/day)(10 min/shower)(5 gal/min) = 200 gal/day
Then the usage per year is ...
(200 gal/day)(365 days/yr) = 73,000 gal/yr
__
aii) The cost of electricity is the cost of heating half the water usage, so is ...
(0.20 kWh/gal)(1/2)(73,000 gal/yr)($0.10/kWh) = $730/yr
__
b) The current daily cost of electricity for heating water is ...
($730/yr)/(365 days/yr) = $2/day
If the cost is cut in half, it will be $1 per day. That means the savings is $1 per day, so it will take 1000 days to recover the $1000 initial cost. (Effectively, the average cost for the first 1000 days is the same as if the water heater had not been replaced.)
