Your electricity bill during the spring is $80. You go to pay the bill online and learn that there is a 2% convenience fee for online payments. How much in total will you be charged when you pay this bill online?
A)$80.00
B)$1.60
C)$81.60
D)$78.40
C) $81.60
To calculate this, first find the 2% convenience fee:
2% of $80.00 = 0.02 x 80 = $1.60
Then add the convenience fee to the original bill amount:
$80.00 + $1.60 = $81.60
Therefore, you will be charged a total of $81.60 when you pay this bill online.
