Question

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

Electric power consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The local utility company offers an interrupt program whereby commercial customers that
participate receive favorable rates but must agree to cut back consumption if the utility requests them to do so. A certain company cuts back consumption at
12:00 noon Thursday. To assess the savings, the utility must estimate the company's usage without the interrupt. The period of interrupted service was from
noon to 8:00 p.m. Data on electric power consumption for the previous 72 hours are available.
