How much money would be saved by turning off one 100.0-W lightbulb 3.0 h/day for 365 days if the
cost of electricity is
$0.12 per kWh?

Answer :

Answer:

the money that would be saved is $13.14.

Explanation:

Given;

power consumed by the light bulb, P = 100 W = 0.1 kW

time of running the bulb, t = 3 hours for 365 days = 1,095 hours

cost rate of power consumption, C = $0.12 per kWh

Energy consumed by the light bulb for the given days;

E = Pt

E = 0.1 kW  x 1,095 hr

E = 109.5 kWh

Cost of energy consumed = 109.5 kWh   x   $0.12 / kWh

                                            = $13.14

Therefore, the money that would be saved is $13.14.
