    Step-by-step explanation:

    0.08*300 + 0.13x = 51.95

    Multiply thru by 100 to get:

    8*300 + 13x = 5195

    13x = 5195-2400

    13x = 2,795

    x = 215 hours

    515

    Step-by-step explanation:

    0.08*300 = 24

    24 + 0.13 (x-300) = 51.95

    0.13 (x-300) = 27.95

    x-300 = 215

    x = 515 kWhours
