Washing Machine #3 0.10 x 42 = 4.20/36.90 = 0.1138
Total 100% 36.90
Number of Loads Washed
Washing Machine - Percent of Water Use - Total Gallons - Gallons of Water Gallons Per Load - Loads Washed
Washing Machine #1 73.17 x 4,299,400 = 3,145,871 / 36 87,385
Washing Machine #2 15.45 x 4,299,400 = 664,257 / 38 17,480
Washing Machine #3 11.38 x 4,299,400 = 489,272 / 42 11,649
