The cost of electricity consumed by the TV per month is <u>$4.968</u>.
In the question, we are given that a TV set consumes 120W of electric power when switched on. It is kept on for a daily average of 6 hours per day. The number of days in the month is given to be 30 days. The cost per unit of electricity is 23 cents per kWh.
We are asked to find the cost of electricity the TV consumes in the month.
The daily energy consumed by the TV = Power*Daily time = 120*6 Wh = 720 Wh.
The monthly energy consumed by the TV = Daily energy*Number of days in the month = 720*30 Wh = 21600 Wh = 21600/1000 kWh = 21.6 kWh.
Hence, the total cost of electricity the TV consumes = Monthly energy*Per unit cost = 21.6*23 cents = 496.8 cents = $496.8/100 = $4.968.
Therefore, the cost of electricity consumed by the TV per month is <u>$4.968</u>.
