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)

Solve this equation -3x+1+10x=x+4
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: x=\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

We have been given with the equation -3x+1+10x=x+4

We will collect the terms that are written in variable of x in one side and the constant values on the other side we will get

-3x+10x-x=4-1

After simplification we will get  6x=3

which implies x=1/2

When x from right hand side shift  will shift to left hand side it will change its sign and similarly when 1 from left hand side shift to right hand side change its sign.

Therefore, x=1/2

Vaselesa [24]
The complete question in the attached figure 

step 1
find the tree height for an angle of elevation of 55°<span> 
tan 55</span>°=opposite side angle 55°/adjacent side angle 55°
opposite side angle 55°=the tree height h1
adjacent side angle 55°=10 ft
so
tan 55°=h/10-------> h=10*tan 55°-----> h=14.28 ft

step 2
find the tree height for an angle of elevation of 75° 
tan 75°=opposite side angle 75°/adjacent side angle 75°
opposite side angle 75°=the tree height h2
adjacent side angle 75°=10 ft
so
tan 75°=h2/10-------> h2=10*tan 75°-----> h2=37.32 ft

therefore

<span>the height of the tree is within the range [14.26,37.32]
</span>
Part 1) 4.2 ft

<span>the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is </span>Not Reasonable

Part 2) 14.7 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Reasonable

Part 3) 24.4 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Reasonable

Part 4) 33.9 ft

the value is in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Reasonable

Part 5) 39.1ft

the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Not Reasonable

Part 6) 58.7 ft

the value is not in the interval [14.26,37.32]
therefore
 it is Not Reasonable
