Question 1156001: A company wants to decrease their energy use by 13%. If their electric bill is currently $1,700 a month, what will their bill be if they are successful? Give your answer accurate to at least the nearest dollar.
If the company's electric bill for next month is $1513, should that be considered a success? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! decrease of 13% is decrease/original amount =0.13
D/1700=0.13
D=$221
the bill will be 1700-221=$1479.
Since $1513 is greater than $1479, not less, that would not be a success.
