Answer 1

Complete question :

A pool holds 1440 cubic feet of water, the city charges $1.75 per cubic meter of water used.

How much will it cost to fill the pool?

Answer:

$71.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount charged per cubic meter = $1. 75

Total volume of pool = 1440 ft^3

Using the conversion unit chart :

1 cubic meter = 35.3147 cubic foot

Then we can express the capacity of water held by the pool in cubic metre.

If 1 cubic meter = 35.3147 cubic foot

Then ;

y cubic meter = 1440 cubic foot

y = 1440/35.3147

y = 40.776220 cubic meter

Thus;

Cost of filling the pool will be;

$1.75 × 40.776220

= $71.358386

= $71.36
