Franks electric bill for the month of March was $85.78. The electric company charged a flat monthly fee of $20.00 for service plus $0.14 per kilowatt-hour of electricity used. Approximately how many kilowatt-hours of electricity did frank use in March?

Respuesta :

Answer:

I got 469.8 kilowatt-hours. I got this by taking the total of Frank's bill, which was $85.78, and subtracting the flat monthly fee of $20.00. I did this because I need to find out the number of kilowatt-hours Frank used. Then, I divided $65.78 by $0.14 since that is the price per kilowatt-hour and got about 469.8 kilowatt-hours used by Frank.
