Answer:
U = 16206 + 22.2x
Step-by-step explanation:
This year, water usage has increased by 20% for both regular days and special events.. Write an equation for the total water usage, U, at the park this year in terms of x, the number of special events the park has hosted
Solution:
Last year regular usage of water was 13505 gallons, where as it was 18.5 gallons per special event. Let us assume that there were x special invents, hence:
The total usage for last year = 13505 + 18.5x
This year, the total usage (U) increased by 20%, hence:
Total usage for this year (U) = total usage for last year + 20% of total usage for last year
U = (13505 + 18.5x) + 0.2(13505 + 18.5x)
U = 13505 + 18.5x + 2701 + 3.7x
U = 16206 + 22.2x
