2. The Miller family has decided that due to the severe drought in their state, they are going to implement water conservation methods in their home. Currently, the family uses
approximately 4,000 gallons of water a month for their family of four and they pay $2.95
per 100 cubic feet of water. There are 748 gallons in 100 cubic feet.

by the family per week with the water-saving fixtures?
