Answer:

The cost of gas is £67.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The gas meter readings at the beginning and end of a period were: 8247 and 8631.

The unit used is: [tex]8631-8247=384[/tex]

The cost of the gas is 11p for each unit.

Therefore, the cost is: [tex]384\times 0.11=42.24[/tex]

Also there is a fixed charge of £25.57.

Hence, the cost of gas is [tex]42.24+25.57=67.81[/tex]
