Answer:

960 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first day:

Subtract the primary level of water by the 20% of it. 20% of 1500 is:

$0.2*1500=300$ (Convert the percent to decimal)

Then subtract 1500 to 300. That would become 1200cm for the first day.

For the second day:

Subtract the level of water from the first day by 20% of it. 20% of 1200 is:

$0.2*1200= 240$

Then subtract 1200 to 240. That would become 960 for the second day.

The level of the water after 2 days is 960 cm.

The sum of the equation is = 5494000.

<h3>What does summation mean in math?</h3>

The outcome of adding numbers or quantities mathematically is a summation, often known as a sum. A summation always has an even number of terms in it. There may be just two terms, or there may be 100, 1000, or even a million. Some summations include an infinite number of terms.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

Distribute 2j to (j+3).

Rewrite the summation as the sum of two individual summations.

Evaluate each summation using properties or formulas from the lesson.

The lower index is 1, so any properties can be used.

The sum is 5,494,000.

<h3>Calculation according to the statement:</h3>

$\sum_{j=1}^{200} 2 j(j+3)$
