Question

A physics student likes to study while listening to loud music. If electricity costs 12.00$/kWh (kilowatt-hour), how much would it cost the student to run a 220 W stereo system 8.0 hours per day for 10 days of studying?

Answer 1

the cost of running the stereo is $211.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

cost of electricity, = 12.00$/kWh

power consumed by the stereo system, P = 220 W

duration of the power consumption, t = 8 hours

number of days, = 10 days

total time of the power consumption = 8 hours x 10 = 80 hours

power consumed in kW = 220 W / 1000 = 0.22 kW

Energy consumed = 0.22 kW x 80 h = 17.6 kWh

The cost of using 17.6 kWh

= 17.6 x $12

= $211.2

Therefore, the cost of running the stereo is $211.2
