Answer:

the billing for water consumption between April and May is 275 pesos.

Explanation:

To find the billing for water consumption between April and May, we need to calculate the difference in the water usage as measured by the water meter.

The difference between the readings in April and May is:

430.4 kl - 417.8 kl = 12.6 kl

To calculate the cost of this water usage, we need to multiply the volume of water by the cost per kl and then add the basic charge.

The cost of the water usage is:

12.6 kl x 20 pesos/kl = 252 pesos

Adding the basic charge of 23 pesos, the total billing for water consumption between the two months is:

252 pesos + 23 pesos = 275 pesos

Therefore, the billing for water consumption between April and May is 275 pesos.
