Last quarter, FREDA’S FISH’N’CHIPPERY had 12 floodlights and 9 fluorescent lights illuminating the front of the shop and the electricity bill for this was ₡142. This quarter, in order to cut costs, Freda disconnected four of the floodlights and three of the fluorescent lights and the electricity bill was ₡118. If you assume the usage of the lights was identical for each quarter, how much does it cost to run each type of light?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
