Answer:

12500 Gallons Per Day

Explanation:

Set # of mobile homes to x

Set the # of gallons of water each mobile home uses every day to y

Set the total # of gallons of water the trailer park uses each day to z

From this our equation is simply => x*y=z

Substitute our given values

(50)*(250)=z

z = 12500
