Savabuck University has installed standard pressure-operated flush valves on their water closets. When flushing, these valves deliver 130.0 L min1 . If the delivered water costs $0.45 per cubic meter, what is the monthly cost of not repairing a broken valve that flushes continuously?

Respuesta :

In this exercise we want to calculate the cost value per month of a university, so we have:

Cost = $2527.2 per month.

Organizing the information given in the statement, we find that:

  • flushing, these valves deliver 130.0 L/min.
  • water costs $0.45 per cubic meter

With this information we can write for each month that:

  • 1 month = 30 days
  • 1 days = 24 hr = 24 x 60 min
  • 1 month = 30 x 24 x 60 min
  • 1 month = 43,200 min

Now doing the time calculation with the size we find:

[tex]x = 0.13 * 43,200\\x=6,616[/tex]

So the cost will be:

[tex]C = 5616* 045 \$\\Cost = $2527.2 per month.[/tex]
