Answer 1

Answer:

Total Cost is 41.18 AED

Explanation:

Per day number of hours light bulbs were on=3hours

5 bulbs power consumption = 150Wx5 = 750W

Electricity usage per day = 750 x 3 = 2250Wh = 2.25kWh

April has 30 days and May has 31 days. Therefore totals days = 61days

Total power consumption = 2.25x 61 = 137.25kWh

Total Cost = 137.25x 0.30 = 41.175 AED
