Q. The house Trevor's family lives in has 66 people (including Trevor) and 33 bathrooms. In the past month, each person showered for an average of 480480 minutes and used an average 7272 liters of shower water (over the entire month). Water costs 0.200.20 dollars per liter.\newlineHow much money did Trevor's family spend, in total, on shower water in the past month?\newlinedollars
  1. Calculate total water usage: First, we need to calculate the total amount of water used by Trevor's family for showering in the past month.\newlineEach person used 7272 liters of water, and there are 66 people in the family.\newlineTotal water used = Water used per person ×\times Number of people\newlineTotal water used = 7272 liters/person ×\times 66 people
  2. Perform calculation for total water usage: Now, let's perform the calculation for the total water used.\newlineTotal water used = 72liters/person×6people=432liters72 \, \text{liters/person} \times 6 \, \text{people} = 432 \, \text{liters}
  3. Calculate cost of water usage: Next, we need to calculate the cost of the water used. The cost of water is 0.200.20 dollars per liter.\newlineTotal cost =Total water used×Cost per liter= \text{Total water used} \times \text{Cost per liter}\newlineTotal cost =432 liters×0.20 dollars/liter= 432 \text{ liters} \times 0.20 \text{ dollars/liter}
  4. Perform calculation for total cost: Now, let's perform the calculation for the total cost.\newlineTotal cost = 432 liters×0.20 dollars/liter=86.4 dollars432 \text{ liters} \times 0.20 \text{ dollars/liter} = 86.4 \text{ dollars}
