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.
