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 00.2020 dollars per liter.\newlineHow much did Trevor's family pay per minute on shower water?\newline__________dollars per minute
  1. Calculate total water usage: Calculate the total water usage for the month.\newlineTotal water usage = Number of people ×\times Average water usage per person\newline= 6×726 \times 72 liters\newline= 432432 liters
  2. Calculate total cost: Calculate the total cost for the water used.\newlineTotal cost = Total water usage ×\times Cost per liter\newline= 432432 liters ×\times $0.20\$0.20/liter\newline= $86.4\$86.4
  3. Calculate total shower time: Calculate the total shower time for the month.\newlineTotal shower time == Number of people ×\times Average shower time per person\newline=6×480= 6 \times 480 minutes\newline=2880= 2880 minutes
  4. Calculate cost per minute: Calculate the cost per minute of shower water.\newlineCost per minute = Total cost / Total shower time\newline= $86.4\$86.4 / 28802880 minutes\newline= $0.03\$0.03 per minute
