Answer:
200 additional gallons of water are used when 40 people take a bath instead of a shower
Explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Amount of water used when we take a bath = 20 gallons
Amount of water used when we take a shower = 15 gallons
Number of people who wants to take a bath = 40
2. How much extra water is used?
Extra water is used = Number of people * (Amount of water used when we take a bath - Amount of water used when we take a shower)
Replacing with the real values, we have:
Extra water is used = 40 * (20 - 15)
Extra water is used = 40 * 5 = 200 gallons
