Question

A company wants to decrease their energy use by 16%. If their electric bill is currently $1,900 a month, what will their bill be if they are successful? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

If you consume less energy you pay less with respect to the amount of energy you saved. If you saved 16% of total energy you should expect to lower your bill by 16%. Count how much is left -> 1900-1900*0.16=1596$
