Answer: $450.00
To find out how much money it will cost, we can use this equation:
(Let t = total, and kw = kilowatts)
- (Number of kw × price per kw per hour) × number of hours = t
Fitting the numbers into the equation:
- (3000 × 3) × 5 = 45,000 or $450.00
Therefore, the cost of using 3000 kilowatts of power for 5 hours at 3 cents per each kilowatt every hour is $450.00.
