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)

What are period and amplitude for the function
sweet [91]

Answer: Period: 4. Amplitude: 3

Step-by-step explanation: The period is how long it takes for one cycle of the function (one up and down). In this graph, one cycle ends at 4.

The amplitude is how far away the extremes of the graph are from the midline. This graph is a total of 6 units tall, making the amplitude 3. (I usually find total graph height and divide by 2.)

The ratio of the shortest sides is 12/5. Multiplying the other two sides of the smaller triangle by that ratio gives 15 and 18, so the ratios of all sides are the same. The triangles are similar.

ABC ~ ZYX

The largest/smallest scale factor is 12/5 = 2.4.

- 10% of 8 is 0.8. (10% is 0.1, and you multiply this by 8)
- multiply 0.8 by 60 so you can get the number of minutes before midnight (this is 48).
- 48 minutes before midnight is 11:12.

Round 246,539 to the nearest ten thousand and to the nearest hundred thousand
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Nearest ten thousand: 250,000   Nearest hundred thousand: 200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

For the nearest ten thousand, look at that place which is the 4 then look at the number next to it. Its a 6. That 6 is closer to ten than it is to 0 so you round up to the next number which is 250,000. For the hundred thousand place do the same thing. Look at the number next to it which is 4 which is closer to 0 than 10 so you round down to 200,000.
