In February, Paul's electric bill was three dollars more than one-half his gas bill. If the electric bill was ninety-two dollars, what was the gas bill?
Let us assume the gas bill of Paul in February = x dollars Then Electric bill of Paul for the month of February = (x/2) + 3 Amount of Electricity bill of Paul for the month of February = $92 then we can write the equation as (x/2) + 3 = 92 x/2 = 92 - 3 x/2 = 89 x = 89 * 2 = 178 dollars So the gas bill of Paul in February is $178. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.
