Answer:

$0.12

Explanation:

We have been given that last month Marybeth was charged $112 for a 945 kWh of electricity. We are asked to find the charges of per kWh.

To find charges of per kWh, we will divide $112 by 945 kWh.


\text{Charges of per kWh of electricity}=\frac{\$112}{\text{945 kWh}}


\text{Charges of per kWh of electricity}=\frac{\$0.1185185}{\text{kWh}}

Upon rounding our answer to nearest hundredth we will get,


\text{Charges of per kWh of electricity}\approx \frac{\$0.12}{\text{kWh}}

Therefore, the company charges $0.12 per kWh of electricity.
