1: Suppose you have 10 light bulbs each of 100 Watt at your home. All of them are used for 6 hours every day. If the billing rate is 9 cent per unit (kilowatt-hr), how much do you have to pay in a month for those 10 bulbs? 2: An energy saving light bulb is saying that it would glow like a 60 watt bulb but its actual power consumption is 25 watts. If this light is turned on for 5 hours a day, how much is the saving in a year (consider billing rate is 10 cent per kilowatt-hr)?
