Question 87 • ****Spring 2026 Financial Math - MA2007 MQS21QXV
Shanika’s standard-plan bill is $30 for the first 400 kWh, $40 for the next 400 kWh, and $65.625 for the remaining 525 kWh, totaling $135.625. Vanesa pays $75 for 500 on-peak kWh and $24.75 for 825 off-peak kWh, totaling $99.75. The difference is $135.625 − $99.75 = $35.875, which rounds to $35.88, so Shanika pays $35.88 more than Vanesa.
