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:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1 -  \sqrt{x}  \neq \: 0 \\  \\  \therefore \: 1 \neq \sqrt{x}  \\  \\  {1}^{2}  \neq ({ \sqrt{x}) }^{2}  \\  \\ 1 \neq \: x \\

Hence, x will take values other than 1.
