Question

The garcias like to keep their 40.0 watts front prch light on at night to welcome visitors. if the light is on from 6pm until 7am, and the garcias pay .08 per kWh, how much does it cost to run the light for this amount of time each week

Answer 1

Answer:

For 1 week total cost will be equal to 0.2912

Explanation:

We have given power P = 40 watt

Light is on from 6 pm to 7 am

So total time = 13 hours

We know that energy is given by

$Energy=power\times time$

So energy will be $E=40\times 13=520watt-hour=0.520Kwh$

We have given cost per KWh is 0.08

So total cost per day will be = 0.08 ×0.520 = 0.0416

For 1 week that is for 7 day total cost will be = 7×0.0416 = 0.2912
