In a household, a business is run for an average of 6 hours per day. The total power consumed by a computer and its printer is 205 watts. In addition, a 90-W light bulb runs during the same 6 hours. If their utility charges 11.75 cents per kWh, how much do the owners pay every 30-days?
In a household, a business is run for an average of 6 hours per day. The total power consumed by a computer and its printer is 220 watts. In addition, a 50-W light bulb runs during the same 6 hours. If their utility charges 11.75 cents per kWh, how much do the owners pay every 30-days?
The amount paid by the owner is $
A power company charges $0.095 per KW•hr. There is a microwave rated at 1200 W, a TV rated at 60W, and a light bulb rated at 12W. If the microwave is used 5 min a day, the TV 4.5 hours a day, and the light bulb 6 hours a day, how much money is owed to the power company at the end of 30 days for the devices?
