2. A gas company has the following rate schedule for natural gas usage in single-family residences:
Monthly service charge $8.80
Per therm service charge
1st 25 therms $0.6686/therm
Over 25 therms $0.85870/therm
What is the charge for using 25 therms in one month? Show your work.
What is the charge for using 45 therms in one month? Show your work.

3. The wind chill factor represents the equivalent air temperature at a standard wind speed that would produce the same heat loss as the given temperature and wind speed. One formula for computing the equivalent temperature is
W(t) = {(t@33-(10.45+10√v-v)(33-t)/2204 if 0≤v<1.79
33-1.5958(33-t) )¦ (@if 1.79≤v<20@if v≥20)
where v represents the wind speed (in meters per second) and t represents the air temperature . Compute the wind chill for an air temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 12 meters per second. (Round the answer to one decimal place.) Show your work.
