Question

Last year Essex Manufacturing paid $3500 for utilities. This year the company used energy-saving techniques to reduce the utility bills by 13% of last year's cost. What was the cost of utilities for Essex Manufacturing this year?

Answer 1

$3045

Explanation:

You need to find 13% of 3500, and subtract it from 3500.

13% of 3500 = 455

3500 - 455 = 3045
