2435 units of gas used in November, costing 4.12p per unit. The gas company also charge 9.43p per day. The total cost has an additional 5% in VAT. What is the gas bill for the month of November?

30 days in November; (30 X 9.43) = 282.9p (2435 X 4.12) = 10032.2p (10032.2 + 282.9) = 10315.1p 5% in VAT so total price is 105% of 10032.2p Convert 105% to decimal; 1.05 (1.05 X 10315.1) = 10830.55p Convert to £ by dividing by 100 and rounding to 2 decimal places; £108.31
