<u>Answer-</u>
<em>The total amount of water wasted this year is 6716 gallons.</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
A study indicated that the citizens of Morris-town wasted 5840 gallons of water last year.
This year they wasted 15% more than that amount they wasted previous year.
15% of 5840 is,

The total amount of water wasted this year =
The amount of water wasted previous year + 15% more of the amount of that
= 5840 + 876
= 6716 gallons
Therefore, the total amount of water wasted this year is 6716 gallons
Minimum is 40
First quartile is 43
Median is 61
Third quartile is 65
Maximum is 97
Mike age is 3 less then twice the age of his brother nuke.
M = Mike's age now
N = Nuke's age now
M = 2N - 3
Ten years ago, four times nuke's age was one more mike's age.
M-10 = Mike's age 10 years ago
N-10 = Muke's age 10 years ago
4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10
what are their present ages
find M and N
substitute M = 2N - 3 into 4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10:
4(N - 10) = 1 + [2N - 3] - 10
4N - 40 = 2N - 12
2N = 28
N = 14
M = 2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25
Mike is 25 and Nuke is 14.
check:
4(14 - 10) = 4(4) = 16 = 26 -10 = 1 + 25 - 10
