A TUB USES 20 GALLONS. a shower uses 15 gallons. if 40 people take a bath instead of a shower, how much extra water is used?

Answer 1

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 2

There is 800 gallons used
