a local rectangular shaped pool has dimensions 25 yd by 28 yd and is 5.7 feet deep. find the cost for filling the pool if the city charges $1.50 per 1000 gallons. use the conversion 1 gallon



Answer :

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

Given:

Length = 25 yd

width = 28 yd

Height = 5.7 ft

converting yard to feet,

25 yd = 75 ft

28 ft = 84 ft

Volume of the pool = length × width× height

= 75 × 84 × 5.7

= 35,910 cubic ft

1 gallon = 0.134 cubic ft.

267,985.07 gallon = 35,910 ft

charges per 1000 gallon = $1.50

Total charges = 267,985.07 gallon / 1000 gallon × $1.50

= 267.98507 × 1.50

= 401.977

Approximately,

$401.98

Therefore, the cost for filling the pool if the city charges $1.50 per 1000 gallons is $401.98
