Suppose that a gated community consisting of 40 houses requires:

500 liters of water everyday for common utilities of the community, and
a certain amount of water everyday per house.
Assuming that the water tanker supplies no more than 4500 liters of water per day to this community, what is the maximum amount of water that can be used by each house on a daily basis?

liters

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:
40 houses,

500 liters of waters everyday for common utilities

Unknown amount of water per house which we will call x.

4500 max liters for the gated community

Solve:

4500=40x+500

subtract 500 from both sides

4000=40x

divide by 40

100=x

Check:

40(100)+500=4500

4000+500=450

correct

Answer:

100 liters of water can be used by each house.
