    Household using 1000 cubic feet: charge per cubic foot is $0.04

    Household using 1600 cubic feet: charge per cubic foot is $0.034375

    Explanation:

    Household using 1000 cubic feet

    Bill = $40

    Volume of water used = 1000ft^3

    Charge per cubic foot = $40/1000 = $0.04

    Household using 1600 cubic feet

    Bill = $55

    Volume of water used = 1600ft^3

    Charge per cubic foot = $55/1600 = $0.034375
