Answer:

Total cost= $51

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Giving the following information: </u>

Fixed cost= $5

From 0 to 40,000 gallons= $0.0007 per gallon

From 40,001 to infinity= $0.0009

<u>We need to calculate the total cost for 60,000 gallons:</u>

Total cost= 5 + 40,000*0.0007 + 20,000*0.0009

Total cost= $51
