Question

The pool holds 15069 of water and is leaking at a rate of 4 gallons per day how many gallons will remain in the pool after 141 days

Answer 1

Water remaining in the pool after 141 days = 14,505 gallons

Explanation:

Total number of gallons of water in the pool = 15,069

Rate of leakage of water = 4 gallons per day

Using unitary method

1 day leakage of water from the pool = 4 gallons

∴ In 141 days leakage of water from the pool will be =
`141*4=564` gallons

After leaking 564 gallons of water, total gallons of water that will remain in the pool will be =
`15,069-564=14,505` gallons
