The total average monthly cost of heat, power, and water for sheridan service for last year was $2010. if this year’s average is expected to increase by one-tenth over last year’s average, and heat is $22 more than three-quarters the cost of power, while water is $11 less than one-third the cost of power, how much should be budgeted on average for each month for each item?

Given,

The total monthly budget of last year = $ 2010,

∵ this year’s average is expected to increase by one-tenth over last year’s average,

So, the total monthly budget of this year = 2010 + ( 2010)

= 2010 + 201

= $ 2211,

Now, let the monthly budget for Power ( in dollars ) = P,

∵ heat is $22 more than three-quarters the cost of power while water is $11 less than one-third the cost of power,

So, budget for  heat =

Budget for  water =

Thus, total monthly budget =

Hence, the budget, for power = $ 1056,

For heat =

For water =
