Question

An electric company calculates a persons monthly bill from the number of kilowatt kWh, x, used

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given piecewise function that represent the amount of bill from number of units of electricity used is 'x' kWh.

b(x) = 0.10x   when x ≤ 200

         0.15(x - 200) + 20  when x > 200

For x = 400 kWh,

Function which represents the expenses of the bill,

b(400) = 0.15(400 - 200) + 20 [Since x > 200]

           = 0.15(200) + 20

           = 30 + 20

           = $50

Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.
