Kay wants to buy a new fireplace insert that will burn gas instead of wood. She normally uses two cords of wood in the winter. Wood costs $250/cord. She is interested in knowing how much she will save if she burns gas in the fireplace insert. Gas costs $0.91 per therm. One therm is 100,000 BTU. The fireplace insert burns 33,000 BTU per hour. Kay figures she will burn the fireplace 5 hours per day for 120 days. How much will she save in one winter if she burns gas instead of wood?
