Answer:

There are <u>20,000 milligrams</u> chlorine in the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The chlorine per liter of water in the pool is 2.5 milligrams.

The  volume of water in the swimming pool is 8000 gallons.

Now, to find the quantity of chlorine in the pool.

Let the quantity of chlorine be x.

The gallons of water in the swimming pool = 8000.

The milligrams of chlorine per liter of water in the pool = 2.5.

According to question, the amount of chlorine in the swimming pool is proportional to the volume of water.

So, 2.5 mg of chlorine is equivalent to 1 liter.

Thus, x is equivalent to 8000.

Now, to get the quantity of chlorine by using cross multiplication method:

\frac{2.5}{1} =\frac{x}{8000}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

20000=x\\\\x=20,000\ mg.

Therefore, there are 20,000 milligram chlorine in the pool.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Mr.Smith paid $29.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr.Smith paid $24.5 plus additional 20% of $24.5, and to figure out the total amount that he paid, we need to know what is 20% of $24.50.

20% of $24.50 is:

\frac{20}{100}*24.5=0.2*24.6=4.9.

Mr.Smith paid additional $4.9; therefore, the total amount he paid was

$24.5 + $4.9 = $29.4.

Mr. smith paid $29.4.
