A utility company measures gas consumption by the hundred cubic feet, CCF. The company has a three-step rate schedule for gas customers. First, there is a minimum charge of $5.00per month for up to 3 CCF of gas used. Then, for the next 6 CCF, the charge is $0.75 per CCF. Finally, after 9 CCF, the charge is $0.55 per CCF. Represent the cost of g CCF of gas if g is greater than 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hundred CCF of gas consumed by the customer =g

Therefore, when the hundred cubic feet, CCF of gas consumed is more than 9, the consumer pays for the first 9 and then pays for any subsequent CCF of gas at a rate of $0.55 per CCF

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
