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¢

Answer:

The value of x is 31^{\circ}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please look at the figure attached to get more clear solution.

We have given:

FG||CB

And the line that cut the parallel line is transversal so, here BA is transversal

And alternate interior angles on transverse line are equal

So, ∠1=∠4

And ∠4=28^{\circ}

Hence,  ∠1=∠4=28^{\circ}

And On FG the sum of angles will be 180^{\circ}

∠3+∠2+∠1=180^{\circ}

90^{\circ}+∠2+28^{\circ}=180^{\circ}

Hence, ∠2=62^{\circ}

Now, we know that the sum of interior angles is equal to the exterior angle:

Therefore, ∠2+∠5=∠6+∠7

62^{\circ}+3x=x+4x

On simplification we get:

2x=62^{\circ}

x=31^{\circ}

Hence, the value of x is 31^{\circ}.

6 * 15 = 90

90 * 4 = 360cm

Cube

12 * 12 = 144

144 * 4 = 576cm

576 + 360 =

68.64 divided by 2.4 SHOW WORK PLEASE
34kurt

Answer:28.6

I started by seeing how many 2.4 can go into 68.64. I found that it is pretty easy to find that if you multiply the 2.4 by ten you get 24 so we do that twice and have 48. We then subtract 48 from the 68.64 which leaves us with 20.64. If we multiply 2.4 by 5 we get 12 so once again subtract 12 from that 20.64 and now we are left with 8.64. So now we need to figure out how many more 2.4 are left well it is more than three because three gives us 7.2 so let’s subtract that from it now we are left with 1.44. Now we need to find out what times 2.4 gives us 1.44. Well it would be .6. So now if we add up everything we get the answer of 28.6. Sorry if this very complicated

What is you’re typical approach to solving a math problem that looks too difficult or intimidating
kherson [118]

Answer:

People are more likely to avoid approaching difficult situations as they fear failure or looking bad to others if they get it wrong. They lack the point of view of being looked upon as brave for attempting something that others avoid.
