Round your answer to two decimal places.

Respuesta :

The cost for filling the pool if the city charges $1.50 per 1000 gallons is $333.97

Given:

Length = 25 yd

width = 26 yd

Height = 5.1 ft

convert yard to feet

25 yd = 75 ft

26 ft = 78 ft

Volume of the pool = length × width× height

= 75 × 78 × 5.1

= 29,835 cubic ft

1 gallon = 0.134 cubic ft.

222,649.3 gallon = 29,835 ft

charges per 1000 gallon = $1.50

Total charges = 222,649.3 gallon / 1000 gallon × $1.50

= 222.6493 × 1.50

= 333.97395

Approximately,

$333.97

Therefore, the cost for filling the pool if the city charges $1.50 per 1000 gallons is $333.97
