The Hydro water department has a monthly service charge of $10.10 and a volume charge of $1.58 for every 100 cubic feet of water. The total monthly cost is equal to the service charge plus the charge for the volume used during the month. If we let x represent the number of cubic feet of water (in hundreds) and y represent the total monthly cost, then we have: total monthly cost = volume charge + service charge y = 1.58x + 10.10 If the Johnson family used 200 ft3 less water this month than last month, then they can expect A. an increase in their water bill of $3.16. B. a decrease in their water bill of $3.16. C. a decrease in their water bill of $20.20. D. an increase in their water bill of $20.20.

B. a decrease in their water bill of $3.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly service charge =$10.10

Volume charge = $1.58 for every 100 cubic feet of water.

Total monthly cost = 1.58x + 10.10

If the Johnson family used less water this month than last month, then they can expect a reduction in their bill by the Volume charge for  .

Volume Charge per of water = $1.58

Therefore: Volume Charge for of water = 2 X $1.58=$3.16

Therefore, the Johnson family can expect a decrease in their water bill of $3.16.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
