Answer:

  a. 3942 kWh

  b. $473.04

  c. 1314 kWh

  d. $157.68

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a. </h3>

There are 1000 W in 1 kW, so 450 W = 0.450 kW. The energy used per day is ...

  (0.45 kW)(24 h) = 10.8 kWh . . . . energy per day

Then in a 365-day year, the energy used is

  (365 da/yr)(10.8 kWh/da) = 3942 kWh/yr

__

<h3>b.</h3>

At the rate of $0.12/kWh, the cost of running the pump is ...

  ($0.12/kWh)(3942 kWh/yr) = $473.04/yr

__

<h3>c.</h3>

Switching the pump off for 1/3 of the time will save 1/3 of the energy found in part (a):

  1/3(3942 kWh) = 1314 kWh . . . . energy saved by switching off the pump

__

<h3>d.</h3>

The savings will be 1/3 of the cost of running the pump full time:

  1/3($473.04/yr) = $157.68/yr
