A small town’s wastewater treatment plant can treat 1500 m³ of wastewater per day. During a week, it operates at an average utilisation of 70 %. What is the total volume of wastewater treated in that week?

Step-by-step solution

1. Find daily treated volume: $1500\times 0.70=1050$ m³.
2. Multiply daily volume by 7 days: $1050\times 7=7350$ m³.
3. Thus the plant treats 7350 m³ in the week.
