Answer 1

The total revenue is 1993560 + 0.5x

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

As we know Revenue = Fixed revenue + Variable revenue

A resident in a particular city pays a water bill of $4 44 per month plus $0.50 per 1000 gallons of water used.

Fixed revenue = Fixed charge × Number of customer

Fixed revenue = 4.44 × 449,000 = 1993560

Let x is the total number of gallons.

Variable revenue = 0.50 × x = 0.5x

Hence, the total revenue is 1993560 + 0.5x
