Answer:

The answer is

D) Method 1 can save $288 more than Method 2.

Explanation:

Considering that the cost per gallon of water is $0.04, we have to determine how much money is saved per month using each method, so:

Method 1 saves 1200 gallons of water per month.

1200 $0.04= $48

Method 1 saves $48 per month

$48 12= $576

Method 1 saves $576 per year

Method 2 saves 600 gallons of water per month

600 $0.04= $24

Method 2 saves $24 per month

$24 12= $288

Method 2 saves $288 per year

So, we can conclude that Method 1 can save $288 more than Method 2, because:

Method 1 - Method 2 = X

$576 - $288 = $288
