Water Budget Problem: Residential Water Usage
You are tasked with calculating a water budget for a residential household over the course of a month. The household consists of two adults, two children, and a small
garden. The water usage will include indoor activities such as bathing, cooking, and cleaning, as well as outdoor activities like watering the garden.
Given Information:
• Average water consumption per person per day for indoor activities: 100 liters
• Average water consumption for outdoor garden watering per day: 50 liters
• Water meter reading at the beginning of the month: 150,000 liters
• Water meter reading at the end of the month: 151,500 liters
Assumptions:
• The month has 30 days.
• There is no leakage or wastage of water.
• Water used for other purposes (e.g., car washing, swimming pool) is negligible and can be ignored.
Question:
What is the total water usage over one month?
O 11500 litters
O 15000 liters
O 14250 litters
O 13500 liters
