A jug has a maximum capacity of 4 liters. It's filled to 85% of its capacity, and then poured out at a rate of 25 ml/s. Which of the following expressions models the volume remaining in the jug, in liters, after x seconds?

W(x) = 3.4 L - (25/1000)(L/s)*x

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum of the jug is 4 L.

now, the jug is 85% filled, then the amount of water in the jug is:

(85%/100%)*4L = 0.85*4L = 3.4L

Now, we pour 25 mL each second, so we could write a linear equation as:

W(x) = 3.4L - (25ml/s)*x

where x is the number of seconds that passed since the beginning,

But we want to write this in Liters, we have that:

1L = 1000mL.

Then 1mL = (1/1000) L

then we can write 25 mL as:

25m L = 25*(1/1000) L = (25/1000) L.

Then we can write the equation as

W(x) = 3.4 L - (25/1000)(L/s)*x

which is the amount of water remaining in the jug after x seconds.
