lyudmila [28]

The bill will be 18,480 if they are successful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Current bill of company = 22000

Energy usage to decrease = 16%

Amount of decreased usage = 16% of current bill

Amount of decreased usage = $\frac{16}{100}*22000$

Amount of decreased usage = $0.16*22000$

Amount of decreased usage = 3520

Bill after decreased usage = Current bill - Amount of decreased usage

Bill after decreased usage = 22000 - 3520 = 18480

The bill will be 18,480 if they are successful.

x=1 Divide 2 from both sides

y=1+5 Insert 1 as x

y=6 Add 1+5 to solve for y
