Answer: [tex]\$1826[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The company wants to decrease its bill by 17%
The amount of the current bill is [tex]\$2200\ \text{per month}[/tex]
Percentage decrease is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{original-New}}{\text{original}}\times 100[/tex]
Suppose the new bill is x
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{2200-x}{2200}\times 100=17\\\\\Rightarrow 1-\dfrac{x}{2200}=0.17\\\\\Rightarrow 0.83=\dfrac{x}{2200}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\$1826[/tex]
