Solution:
A local pool used by lap swimmers has dimensions 25 yd by 20 yd and is 5 feet deep
Volume = 25* (3) * 20*(3) *5 = 22500 ft^3
Now
the city charges $1.50 per 1000 gallons
and
1 gallon = 0.134 cubic ft.
1 cubic fit = 1/0.134 gallons
22500 = 22500 /0.134 gallons
Now
$1.50 per 1000 gallons.
1 gallon = $ 1.50/1000
therefore
22500 /0.134 = (22500 /0.134 ) * (1.50/1000)
= $ 251.865672
Answer: cost for filling the pool $ 251.865672
