Bertha buys electricity from a company that offers a choice of two tariffs. Both have a daily charge of $0.20 regardless of how

much electricity is used. The ‘standard’ tariff charges $0.10 for each unit used, while the ‘day/night tariff’ charges $0.12 for each unit consumed between 06:00 and 22:00 but only $0.05 for each unit consumed between 22:00 and 06:00, when total demand on the electricity network is low. Bertha is currently on the standard tariff. What is the highest proportion of her total electricity consumption that Bertha’s daytime use can be, so that she would not be paying more if she switched to the ‘day/night’ tariff?
A. 5/17
B. 2/5
C. 5/7
D. 17/20

Answer: D ( 17/20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two choices are:

The ‘standard’ tariff charges = $0.10 per unit

The ‘day/night tariff’ = $0.12 per unit for each unit consumed between 06:00 and 22:00 but only $0.05 for each unit consumed between 22:00 and 06:00

The day time is between 22:00 and 06:00

Time = 22 - 6 = 16 hours

Let assume that the charges are unit per hour.

For standard tariff = (16 × 0.10) + 0.2

Standard tariff = 1.6 + 0.2 = 1.8

For day/night = (16 × 0.12) + 0.2

= 1.92 + 0.2

= 2.12

The proportion will be

1.8/2.12 = 17/20 ( approximately)

A scientist used a microscope to count the number of bacterial cells in a petri dish every hour. The graph shows the data collec
Alex777 [14]

The required relationship shown by the graph is the exponential relationship n =2^t . Option a is correct,

Given that,

A graph has been shown, showing the data,  what is the relationship between the number of bacteria with time is to be determined.

<h3>What is a graph?</h3>

The graph is a demonstration of curves that gives the relationship between the x and y-axis.

Since the recorded value from the graph is
At, t = 1 ; n = 2
At t = 2 ; n = 4
At t = 3 ; n = 8
At t = 4 ; n = 16
At t = 5 : n = 32
Here the above data show the exponential relation between n and t with the base value 2 i.e. n =2^t

Thus, the required relationship shown by the graph is the exponential relationship of n =2^t . Option a is correct,
