Answer 1

Answer:

a) 11.283 dollars

b) 1.435 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kilo watt of electricity used for 1 hour

Charges of electricity per unit = $0.05224

Laura uses 5 heaters to warm her house. The electricity consumed by each use 1800 wats or 1.8 kilo wats

a) Charges in one day = 5 heaters * 1.8 kilo wats per hour * 24  hour* $0.05224 per kilowats per hour

= 11.283 dollars

b) 75 wat light bulb consumes 0.075 kilo wats per hour

Charge per kilowat per hour = $0.05224

In order to cost 1 $, the 75 wat bulb need to be on for 1.435 hour
