Answer 1

Cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6000 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Electricity cost is 6 cents per kilowatt hour.

And we have to found out the cost for one megawatt hour

We know that

1 kilowatt = 1000 watt

1 megawatt = = 1000000 watt

1 megawatt = 1000 kilowatt

1 megawatt hour = 1000 kilowatt hour

Given that cost of 1 kilowatt hour = 6 cents

So the cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6 x 1000 cents

Cost of 1000 kilowatt hour = 6000 cents
