Answer:

The answer to your question is: The family consumed = 540 kWh

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

$ 0.08 for each of the first 300 kWh

$0.13 for each kWh over 300 kWH

Electric bill = $55.20

First, calculate if the family consume more than 300 kWh

                          300 x 0.08 = $24  that is lower than $55.2 so they consume more than 300 kWh

                       

Calculate the difference between what they pay and the cost of 300 kWh

                             $55.20 - 24 = $ 31.2

Now, rule of three

                             1 kWh -----------------   $0.13

                             x         -----------------    $31.2

           x = (31.2)(1) / 0.13 = 240 kWh

The family consumed = 300 + 240 = 540 kWh

At a bargain store, Tanya bought 4 items that each cost the same amount. Tony bought 5 items that each cost the same amount, but
Alex_Xolod [135]

If x is the amount that Tanya paid for each item, then Tony's items would be x-2.25. So:

3x=4(x-2.25)

3x=4x-9

x=9

x-2.25=6.75

Tanya spent $9 on each item; Tony spent $6.75 on each of his items. ☺☺☺☺
