How many kilowatt-hours did they use (Nearest-whole number?

Answer 1

Answer:

2,324.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a utility company charges $ 0.12 per kilowatt-hour for energy a customer uses, and they give a credit of $ 0.0025 for every kilowatt-hour of electricity a customer with a solar panel generates that they don't use themselves, if a customer has a charge of $ 82.04 and a credit of - $ 4.10 on this mouth bill, to determine how many kilowatt-hours did they use the following calculation must be performed:

(82.04 / 0.12) + (-4.10 / - 0.0025) = X

683,666 + 1,640 = X

2,323.66 = X

Thus, rounded to the nearest whole number, users used 2,324 kilowatts per hour.
