Question

the utilities bill for the millers' home in April was $132 fourty two percent of the bills was for gas and the rest was electricity how much did the millers pay for gas and how much did they pay for electricty

Answer 1

The bill was $132

42% was for gas.

Multiply the total bill by 42% ( 0.42) to find the amount spent on gas:

132 x 0.42 = $55.44 was spent on gas.

Now subtract that amount from the total to find how much was spent on electricity:

132 - 55.44 = $76.56 was spent on electricity.
