An ac unit uses 3500 watts or power. If it runs for 10 hours each day and the utility company charges $0.13 per kWh, how much does it cost to run the ac for a month

Cost = (3500 W)·(1 kw/1000 W)·(10 hrs/day)·(30 day/month)·($0.13/kw-hr)

Cost = (3500·1·10·30·0.13 / 1000)·(W·kW·hr·da·$ / W·da·month·kw·hr)

Cost = 136.50 $/month
