Final answer:

To find the number of kilowatt-hours of electricity used during March, subtract the morning reading from the evening reading.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of kilowatt-hours of electricity used during March, you need to calculate the difference between the meter readings on the morning and evening of March 1 and March 31, respectively.

The difference in kWh is obtained by subtracting the morning reading from the evening reading:

36165 kWh - 26010 kWh = 10155 kWh

Therefore, 10155 kilowatt-hours of electricity were used during March.
