Answer:the maximum number of ccf Jake can use if he wants his bill to be no more than $58.00 is $15.3
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of ccf of water that Jake uses in a month.
Jake's water bill is $24.40 per month plus $2.20 per ccf (hundred cubic feet) of water. This means that if she uses x ccf of water in a month, her total water bill would be
24.40 + 2.2x
Therefore, the maximum number of ccf Jake can use if he wants his bill to be no more than $58.00 would be
24.40 + 2.2x ≤ 58
2.2x ≤ 58 - 24.4
2.2x ≤ 33.6
x ≤ 33.6/2.2
x ≤ 15.3
