Answer:
y = $30x ;
1 : $30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
$60 is saved in electricity bill for every 2 panels
Model, y
Amount saved, y = amount saved per panel * number of panels
Let number of panels = x
Hence, total amount saved, y ;
y = $30x
Ratio of panels to money saved :
Number of panels : amount of money saved
2 : $60
1 : $30
Hence, $30 is saved in cost of electricity bill per 1 solar panel purchased.
