Answer:

Total cost will be 224 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that total time t = 50 hour

It is given that monitor ruins at 140 watts

So P = 140 watt

We know that energy = power × time

So energy required for monitor run = 140×50 = 7000 watt hour = 7 kWh

Now tower runs at a power of 260 watts

So power P = 260 watt

So energy required for tower run = 260×50 = 13 kWh

Total energy required = 13 +7 =20 kWh

It is given that company charges 11.2 cents per kilowatt hour

So total cost = 12×11.2 = 224 cents
