Question

During the summer, 1.3% of the water in the kiddie pool evaporates every day. If the kiddie pool holds 8,000 gallons of water and is not

refilled for 10 days, how many gallons of water will be in the pool? Round your answer to the nearest gallon enter the amount

Answer 1

• 7019 gallons

Explanation:

• Initial volume of water = 8000 gal
• Daily reduction = 1.3%
• Time = 10 days

Required equation:

• 8000*(1- 0.013)^10 =
• 8000*0.987^10 =
• 7018.7781 ≈ 7019 rounded to the nearest gallon
