Question

electricity costs 6 cents per kilowatt hour if one home uses one megawatt hour of electricity how much will the bill be

Answer 1

The bill will be of 60 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of electricity of 1 kilowatt per hour = 6 cents

Power used by home = 1 megawatt

1 megawatts = 1000 kilowatt

Cost of 1000 kilowatts will be:

`6 cents* 1000=6000 cents=60 dollars`

1 dollars = 100 cents

The bill will be of 60 dollars.

Answer 2

The answer is $60

A megawatt (MW) is one million watts and a kilowatt (kW) is one thousand watts.

So the problem to find the answer is:

10,00,000/1000 X 6 = 6000

6000 cents/100 cents find the dollar amount

=$60

Hope this helps!
