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

One number is 2 less than a second number. Twice the second number is 17 less than 5 times the first
gulaghasi [49]
X=y-2
2y=5x-17
Substituting for x into the second equation, we find
2y=5(y-2)-17
2y=5y-10-17
-3y=-27
y=9
So x=7
Thus, the two numbers are 7 and 9.
