Answer:
a Dryer @ 4,000 watts. Cost = 172 cents
a Heater @ 1,500 watts. Cost = 64.5 cents
a Radio @ 40 watts. Cost = 1.72 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that cost of 1 kilowatt hour = 4.3 cents.
Then cost of 1 kilowatt for 10 hours = 4.3*10 = 43 cents.
4000 watts = 4000/1000 kilowatt = 4 kilowatts
Then cost for running a Dryer for 10 hours = 4*43 = 172 cents.
-----------
1500 watts = 1500/1000 kilowatt = 1.5 kilowatts
Then cost for running a Heater for 10 hours = 1.5*43 = 64.5 cents.
-----------
40 watts = 40/1000 kilowatt = 0.04 kilowatts
Then cost for running a Radio for 10 hours = 0.04*43 = 1.72 cents.
Answer:
Electricity consumed by dryer will cost 172¢ , by a Heater 65¢ and by Radio 2¢
Step-by-step explanation:
As per question Tim's electricity costs 4.3 ¢ a kilowatt hour.
Electricity consumed by a dryer in 10 hours = 10×4000 watts hour
= 10×4 kilo watts hour
= 40 kilowatt hour
And cost of electricity consumed by dryer = 40×4.3 ¢ = 172¢
A heater of 1500 watts will consume the electricity in 10 hours =1500×10 watt hours OR 1.5×10 kilowatt hours = 15 kilowatt hours
So the cost of electricity consumed by heater will be = 15×4.3 = 64.5 ¢ ≅ 65¢
Electricity consumed by Radio in 10 hours = 40×10 watt hours
= 400 watt hours
= 400÷1000 kilowatt hour
= 0.40 kilowatt hour
So the cost of electricity consumed by Radio = 0.40×4.3¢
= 1.72¢ ≅2¢
