Last year, the average American used 167 disposable water bottles (16.9 oz or 0.132 gallons). If the cost of 1 gallon of tap wat

er in Philadelphia is approximately 7 cents, how much money could be saved by drinking tap water if we assume the cost of 1 bottle of water is $1.00?

Answer:

The money that could be saved by drinking tap water is $165.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 1 bottle of water = $1.00

Number of bottles consumed = 167

Volume of water used in 1 bottle = 0.132 gallons

So, volume of water used in 167 bottles = 167 × 0.132 = 22.04 gallons

Cost of 1 gallon of tap water = 7 cents = $0.07

In order to determine the money saved using tap water, we first find the cost of 167 bottles.

Using unitary method,

1 bottle cost = $1.00

167 bottles cost = Number of bottles × Cost of 1 bottle

                          = 167 × $1.00 = $167.00

Now, 167 dollars is spent for consuming 22.04 gallons of water.

Now, cost of 1 gallon of tap water = $0.07

So, cost of 22.04 gallons of tap water = 22.04 × 0.07 = $1.54

Therefore, the money saved by drinking tap water is given as:

Money saved = Money spent in bottles for 22.04 gallons - Money spent in tap water for the same volume

Money saved = $167.00 - $1.54 = $165.46

Hence, the money that could be saved by drinking tap water is $165.46.

Dovator [93]

Answer:2.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The current fence height id 2 m

The gardener is told that he must increase the height of his fence by 40%

so new height is 2+2\times 40%

=2+2\times 0.4

=2\left ( 1+.4\right )

=2\left ( 1.4\right )

=2.8 m

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, negative 1) and (3, 1). a point is at (negative 3, 0). what is the equation of th

The equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and has an x-intercept of 3 is y = 2/3x - 2

<h3>What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and has an x-intercept of 3?</h3>

The given parameters are

Point =(0, -1) and (3, 1)

Calculate the slope using

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Where m represents the slope

So, we have:

m = (1 -- 1)/(3 -0)

Evaluate

m = 2/3

Parallel lines have equal slopes

So, the slope of the other line is

m = 2/3

Linear equations are represented as:

y = mx + c

Where m represents the slope and c represents the y-intercept

So, we have

y = 2/3x + c

An x-intercept of 3 means

0 = 2/3 * 3 + c

So, we have

c = -2

Substitute c = -2 in y = 2/3x + c

y = 2/3x - 2

Hence, the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and has an x-intercept of 3 is y = 2/3x - 2
