An office used 250 kWh of electricity at ₱11.50 per kWh. What is the electricity charge?
Correct answer: D. ₱2,875
250 × ₱11.50 = 250 × ₱11 + 250 × ₱0.50 = ₱2,750 + ₱125 = ₱2,875. The figures here are for practice only; actual electricity rates vary by distributor and month. Breaking ₱11.50 into ₱11 and ₱0.50 makes the multiplication easy.
