Question 6684: You already answered one of my other questions like this, but i'm not sure what to do about this one. I've asked a couple people what they thought that i should do, and they both gave me different ideas of how to do the problem..so i have two different answers that don't look so right....so heres my question and answer if you would like to help me again. THanks.
My question says to remember the formula 1020 sqrt P (1-.01 sqrt P)=G. If P is the population in thousands. this formula is the amount of water in gallons per minute the city needs.
Question: A city has about 37,550 people. How many gallons per minute must the city's pumps be able to supply?
My two answers: 185356.19 or 37937.5

You can check my previous answer to a similar problem, but again, all you need do is to substitute P = 37.55 (thousands)(that's 37,550) into the given formula and grind away.

Gallons per minute.
