Loft insulation reduces annual heating costs by 20%. After he insulated his loft, curtleys annual heating cost was £520. Work out curtleys annual heating cost would have been, if he had not insulated his loft.
520 x 0.2 = 104
520 + 104 = 625
Curtley's annual heating cost before he got his loft insulated was $624.00
Answer:
$650
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent curtleys original annual heating cost.
We have been given that Loft insulation reduces annual heating costs by 20%.
So the cost after 20% reduction would be 80% of original cost that is @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@.
We have been given that after he insulated his loft, curtleys annual heating cost was £520. We can represent this information in an equation as:
@@MATH_TOKEN_1@@
@@MATH_TOKEN_2@@
@@MATH_TOKEN_3@@
Therefore, Curtley's annual heat costing would have been $650, if he had not insulated his loft.
