Question

A household having 0.5 inch pipe consumed 45 units of water in a month. Calculate the payment of bill including 50% sewage service charge if the payment is made within one month of bill issued.

Rate,
1 unit=1000 liters
minimum consumption=10 units
minimum charge= Rs 100 rs 32 per unit
in first month 3% discount

Answer 1

Answer: In order to calculate the bill for this household, we will need first to determine the total amount of water consumed in liters. Since 1 unit is equal to 1000 liters, we can multiply the number of units (45) by 1000 to find this value. 45 units * 1000 liters/unit = 45,000 liters

Next, we will need to determine the cost of the water consumed. Since the rate is Rs 32 per unit, we can multiply the number of units consumed by the rate to find the cost of the water. 45 units * Rs 32/unit = Rs 1440

Since the household consumed less than 10 units of water, they will be charged the minimum charge of Rs 100.

Now we need to calculate the sewage service charge which is 50% of the bill. So, Rs 1440 * 0.5 = Rs 720

Now we need to add the sewage service charge with the water bill and get the final bill. Rs 1440 + Rs 720 = Rs 2160

Since the payment is made within one month of the bill being issued, there is a 3% discount so that the final bill will be Rs 2160 - (3/100)*Rs 2160 = Rs 2094

So, the payment of the bill including a 50% sewage service charge if the payment is made within one month of the bill being issued would be Rs 2094.
