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
