Ian is considering changing his electricity plan. With his current plan, he pays $0.95$0.95 per kilowatt (kw) of energy usage, regardless of whether the usage is during peak hours or off-peak hours. Ian’s average monthly bill is about $125$125, due to the fact that he consumes an average of 131131 kw per month. At least 5050 kw are consumed during peak hours and at least 4545 kw are used during off-peak hours each month. The new energy plan offers to change Ian’s rates to $1.05$1.05 per kilowatt during peak hours and $0.79$0.79 per kilowatt during off-peak hours. Ian decides to sign up. Without completely changing his energy usage habits, what is the best way for Ian to consume energy while minimizing his monthly bill on the new plan?

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance?
