Question

Jan's electric bill is averaging $8 per day mostly due to the air conditioner. By setting the AC to a higher temperature, closing curtains to block sunlight, and using direct-blowing fans for comfort, Jan reduces the bill to $5 per day. How much did Jan reduce the electric bill for a 30-day month?

Answer 1

Answer: $90 saved

Explanation:

8 - 5 = $3 dollars saved each day

Multiply daily amount saved by number of days

$3 × 30 = $90 saved

Answer 2

$5×30days= $150 for the whole month
