Answer:
Savings on electricity per year by brand B = 114.3 - 104.76 = $9.54
Step-by-step explanation:
Ms. Wang is shopping for a new refrigerator. Brand A costs $569 and uses 635 kilowatt-hours per year. Brand B costs $647 and uses 582 kilowatt-hours per year.
Let's assume he buys brand B, so he already has a loss over the price of the commodity that is , loss = 647 - 569 =$78
Cost of electricity = $0.18
Now in the case of electricity,
spending on Brand A = 635 0.18 = $114.3
spending on Brand B = 582 0.18 = $104.76
Savings on electricity per year by brand B = 114.3 - 104.76 = $9.54
The raised price represents 110% of the original price (100% plus the extra 10%)
A percentage is converted into a decimal multiplier by dividing by 100:
To clarify the final stage, consider this (where
is the original price):
From here, basic algebraic rules make solving for easy:
Therefore the original price of a ticket was $175
