2. The Miller family has decided that due to the severe drought in their state, they are going
to implement water conservation methods in their home. Currently, the family uses
approximately 4,000 gallons of water a month for their family of four and they pay $2.95
per 100 cubic feet of water. There are 748 gallons in 100 cubic feet.
A. How much is the family's water bill per month?

Answer :

Answer: $15.78

Explanation:

Since 748 gallons = 100 cubic feet

4000 gallons will be equal to:

= 4000/748 × 100

= 5.3475936 × 100

= 534.75936 cubic feet

Since they pay $2.95 per 100 cubic feet of water, the cost for the family's water bill per month will then be:

= $2.95 × 5.3475936

= $15.78
