Question

Suppose your current electricity meter reading is 25,789 kWh, and the reading on your last bill was 25,350 kWh. If you are charged $0.0983/kWh, compute the amount of you bill.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is $43.15

Explanation:

Current bill = 25, 789 kWh

Previous bill = 25, 350 kWh

Charge = $ 0.0983/ kWh

Process

1.- Subtract the current meter from the previous one

25, 789 - 25, 350 = 439 kWh

2.- Find the amount of the bill using a rule of three

$0.0983 ----------------- 1 kWh

x ---------------- 439 kWh

x = (439 x 0.0983) / 1

x = $ 43.15
