The minimum electric rate in cents per kwh for which the 12-year total cost will be less for the first freezer is 8.61 cents

<h3>How to calculate the rate?</h3>

Let x =  minimum electric rate (Cents/kWh)

Total months in 12 years is 12*12 = 144 m

1st freezer

Total cost over 12 years is

623.95 (cost) + (90 kWh/m)*(144 m)(x/100 $/kWh)

= 623.95 + 129.6x

2nd freezer

Total cost over 12 years is

500 + 100*144*(x/100)

= 500 + 144x

For the 1st freezer to cost less over 12 years,

623.95 + 129.6x < 500 + 144x

123.95 < 14.4x

8.61 < x

The minimum rate is 8.61 cents per kWh

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8/v=6/v-3

8*(v-3)=6v

8v-8*3=6v

8v-24=6v

+24     +24

8v=6v+24

-6v      -6v

2v=24

v=24/2

v=12  miles /hour

v2=12-3=9 miles /hour ( your friend)
