City A has a population of 325,000 people and uses and average of 28,925,000 gallons of water per day. How many gallons of water per day should we expect to see city B to produce if it’s population is 300,000 people
The answer is 26, 700,000. You have to set up a proportion problem for these: Gallons for city A/population A = gallons for B/population B 28,925,000/325000 = x/300000 89 = x/300000 x = 89*300000 x= 27,600,000 gallons
