Answer:

200 additional gallons of water are used when 40 people take a bath instead of a shower

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount of water used when we take a bath = 20 gallons

Amount of water used when we take a shower = 15 gallons

Number of people who wants to take a bath = 40

2. How much extra water is used?

Extra water is used = Number of people * (Amount of water used when we take a bath - Amount of water used when we take a shower)

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Extra water is used = 40 * (20 - 15)

Extra water is used = 40 * 5 = 200 gallons

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the seven happy clowns has a red nose.

This means there are (15-7) 8 sad clowns.

Five of the sad clowns have red noses.
