Question 4 • GA-Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections CR
Let a, b, and c be the hourly costs of Units A, B, and C. Comparing June with July gives 10a + 9b + 12c = $6.64; comparing July with August gives 6a + 9b + 22c = $7.66. Solving these equations together with July’s total, 174a + 198b + 264c = $135.96, gives a = $0.22 per hour. So the cost to run Unit A is $0.22, choice B.
