The Hydro water department has a monthly service charge of $13.90 and a volume charge of $1.45 for every 100 cubic feet of water. The total monthly cost is equal to the service charge plus the charge for the volume used during the month. If we let x represent the number of cubic feet of water (in hundreds) and y represent the total monthly cost, then we have:
total monthly cost = volume charge + service charge
y = 1.45x + 13.90

If the Johnson family used 200 ft3 more water this month than last month, then they can expect
A. an increase in their water bill of $2.90.

B. an increase in their water bill of $27.80.

C. a decrease in their water bill of $2.90.

D. a decrease in their water bill of $27.80.
