Question

Your water bill lists a previous reading of 5,520 ccf and a present reading of 5,981 ccf. The water company charges $0.93 per ccf of water. How much will you be charged on the current bill?

Answer 1

$428.73

Explanation:

The previous reading of the water bill is 5,520 ccf and a present reading of 5,981 ccf.

The number of units used is given as the present reading minus the previous reading.

This means that the number of units used is:

5981 - 5520 = 461 ccf

The water company charges $0.93 per ccf of water.

Therefore, the charges on the current bill will be:

0.93 * 461 = $428.73
