In the given question, there are several data of immense importance. based on these data's the answer to the question can be easily deduced. it is already given that the total utility bill for the month of April in Millers house is $132 and 42% of the bill was paid for gas. remaining amount is paid as electricity charges.
Now
Amount of money paid for gas = 132 * (42/100) dollars
= 5544/100 dollars
= 55.44 dollars
Then
The amount of money paid for electricity = (132 - 55.44) dollars
= 76.56 dollars
So the Millers paid 55.44 dollars for gas and 76.56 dollars for electricity in the month of April.
Answer:
54 Pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that they start off with 67.5 pounds of sugar and they need to reduce it by 20%. We also know from the problem that we want to know the MAXIMUM amount of sugar consumed by each track member.
The typical high school student consumes about 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. That is our first piece of the problem
67.5
We now know that 20% of it needs to be reduced. This means that we can multiply it by 0.8 because that is 20% less than 100% of the sugar.
67.5 x 0.8
This leads the answer to be 54 Pounds
Hope this helped :D
