Mr. Vestas sells electricity from a wind turbine to his local utility. He receives 3¢ per kilowatt hour for the first 500 kilowa

tt hours, 2¢ per kilowatt hour for the next 1000 kilowatt hours, and 1¢ per kilowatt hour for each kilowatt hour thereafter. Mr. Vestas sold 1800 kilowatt hours last month. What was the average price per kilowatt hour the utility paid to Mr. Vestas last month, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a cent?

Answer:

<h2>  2.11¢</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are expected to solve the weighted average price per kilowatt hour.

Step one:

The formula is  

W =∑wX/∑w

W=weighted average  

w=weights applied to x values

X=data values to be averaged

Step two:

given the total killowatt hour is 1800

the 1st = 500 at 3¢

2nd= 1000 at 2¢

3rd = (1800-1000+500) at 1¢ =(1800-1500) at 1¢ = (300) at 1¢

Step two:

Substituting into the expression we have

W =(500*3)+(1000*2)+(300*1)/500+1000+300

W=1500+2000+300/1800

W=3800/1800

W=2.11¢

The average price per kilowatt hour the utility paid to Mr. Vestas last month is 2.11¢

The number of trees in a rainforest decreases each month by 0.5%. The forest currently has 2.5 billion trees. Which expression r
Blababa [14]

Answer:

y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\

Step-by-step explanation:

The above question is in the form of an exponential decay. The equation for an exponential decay is given by:

y=ab^x

where y and x are variables, b < 1, a is the initial value of y (that is the value of y when x = 0).

Let y represent the number of trees left and x represent the number of months. Given that there is currently 2.5 billion trees, therefore a = 2.5 * 10⁹, b = 0.5% = 0.005. The equations becomes:

y=2.5*10^9(0.005^x)\\\\After\ ten\ years(x=10*12\ months=120\ months):\\\\y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\
