The cost of electricity in a certain city is $0.08 for each of the first 300 kWh (kilowatt-hours) and $0.13 for each kilowatt-hour over 300 kWh. Find the number of kilowatt-hours used by a family that receives a $46.10 electric bill
\n" ); document.write( " --------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation::
\n" ); document.write( "0.08*300 + 0.13x = 46.10
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "8*300 + 13x = 4610
\n" ); document.write( "13x = 4610-2400
\n" ); document.write( "13x = 2210
\n" ); document.write( "x = 170 hours
