In this experiment, the scientists combusted different types of hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, natural gas and a gasoline/ethanol mixture) as they aimed to find out the effect that this burning would have on the environment thereby making the combustion of hydrocarbons the independent variable.
Answer:
Total saving would be of 36.917 $\yr
Explanation:
Given Data:
Degree F
Degree F
A = 30 ft^2
%
Heat loss before previous final value 

= 360 Btu/hr
Heat loss after new value
saving would be 
= 616.1782 kw hr/yr
$
= 36.917 $\yr
