Question

Consider a refrigerator that consumes 320 W of elec- tric power when it is running. If the refrigerator runs only one quarter of the time and the unit cost of electricity is

Answer 1

Answer: The refrigerator cost in this month is $4.5 approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of watt of electric power = 320 W

Number of days = 30

Unit cost of electricity = $0.13/Kwh

Hold factor = $\dfrac{1}{4}$

Number of hours in a month = 24

So, the refrigerator cost in this month would be

$0.13\times 0.32\times \dfrac{1}{4}\times 30\times 24\\\\=\ 7.488$

Hence, the refrigerator cost in this month is $4.5 approximately.
