Answer:

The annual operating cost of the refrigerator is $102.78.

Explanation:

Power consumed by the refrigerator = 247 W = 247/1000 = 0.247 kW

Daily operation of the refrigerator = 19 hours

Annual operation of the refrigerator = 365 × 19 = 6,935 hours

Annual energy consumed = 0.247 kW × 6,935 hours = 1712.945 kWh

1 kWh of electricity cost $0.06

1712.945 kWh will cost 1712.945 × $0.06 = $102.78

Annual operating cost = $102.78

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$102.7767

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Energy, E, consumed by a device is the product of the power, P, consumed by the device and the duration (time), t, of consumption. i.e;

E = p x t         ----------------(i)

The refrigerator consumes 247W of power and operates 19 hours per day.

This implies that the refrigerator consumes 0.247kW of power and operates 19 hours per day.

This means that the energy used per day is given by substituting p = 0.247kW and t = 19h into equation (i) as follows;

E = 0.247kW x 19h

E = 4.693kWh

From the question, it is given that the cost of electricity is $0.06 per kWh. i.e

$0.06 = 1 kWh

Then;

4.693kWh = 4.693kWh x $0.06 / 1kWh = $0.28158

Therefore, the cost of electricity per day due to the refrigerator is $0.28158.

Now, to get the annual (365 days) cost of electricity, we multiply the result by 365 as follows;

Annual cost = 365 x $0.28158

Annual cost = $102.7767

#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {

   string name[5];  

   int age[5];  

   int i,j;  

   for ( i = 0; i<=4; i++ ) {  

       cout << "Please enter student's name:";  

       cin >> name[i];  

       cout << "Please enter student's age:";  

       cin >> age[i];          

   }  

for (i=0;i<=4;i++){

   cout<<"Age of  "<< name[i]<<"  is  "<<age[i]<<endl;  

}

}

Output of above program is displayed in figure attached.
