Residents of the town of Maple Grove who are connected to the municipal water supply are billed a fixed amount monthly plus a charge for each cubic foot of water used. In other words, the monthly bill is a linear function of the water used. A household using 1000 cubic feet was billed $40, while one using 1600 cubic feet was billed $55. (a) (1 point) What is the charge per cubic foot? (b) (1 point) Write an equation for the total cost of a resident's water as a function of cubic feet of water used. (c) (1 point) How many cubic feet of water used would lead to a bill of $100?

The monthly cost (in dollars) of water use is a linear function of the amount of water used (in hundreds of cubic feet, HCF). The cost for using 14 HCF of water is $34.04, and the cost for using 42 HCF is $80.24. What is the cost for using 33 HCF of water?
