Question

A nursery located in Florida uses a water meter to measure its water usage 1 point

in CCF. It is charged $0.36 per CCF of water. Its last meter reading was



123,692 and their present reading is 127,394. For this usage, the nursery was



charged $332.72*



True or false?

Answer 1

Explanation:

From the information given, their last meter reading was 123,692 and their present reading is 127,394. The difference between the last and the present meter reading is

127394 - 123692 = 3702

If the water meter measures its water usage in terms of 1 point in CCF, then the amount of CCF of water used is 3702. If the school is charged $0.36 per CCF of water, then for this usage, the charge would be

3702 × 0.36 = $1332.72

Therefore, it is false
