Question: A city plans to reduce its water consumption by 15% from its current usage of 2 million liters per day. What will be the new daily water consumption?

Options:

1. 1.7 million liters
2. 1.8 million liters
3. 1.9 million liters
4. 2 million liters

Correct Answer: 1.8 million liters

Solution:

New consumption = Current usage - (15% of Current usage) = 2,000,000 - (0.15 * 2,000,000) = 2,000,000 - 300,000 = 1,700,000 liters.
