1 Turn off the hose when washing the car 1200
2 Use a broom instead of water to clean drive ways 600

Based on the table, which of these conclusions is correct about the money saved per year by the household by the two methods of water conservation?

A. Method 1 and Method 2 can save $576.
B. Method 1 and Method 2 can save $1800.
C. Method 1 can save $600 more than Method 2.
D. Method 1 can save $288 more than Method 2.

Answer 1

As above so below

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is

D) Method 1 can save $288 more than Method 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that the cost per gallon of water is $0.04, we have to determine how much money is saved per month using each method, so:

Method 1 saves 1200 gallons of water per month.

1200 * $0.04= $48

Method 1 saves $48 per month

$48 * 12= $576

Method 1 saves $576 per year

Method 2 saves 600 gallons of water per month

600 * $0.04= $24

Method 2 saves $24 per month

$24 * 12= $288

Method 2 saves $288 per year

So, we can conclude that Method 1 can save $288 more than Method 2, because:

Method 1 - Method 2 = X

$576 - $288 = $288
