Answer 2

I = 2.61 A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Power of a toaster is 300 watts

It is plugged into an outlet with a voltage of 115 volts

We need to find the current in the toaster's circuit.

The electrical power is given by the formula as follows :

P = V I

I is electric current

`I=(P)/(V)\\\\I=(300)/(115)\\\\I=2.61\ A`

So, 2.61 A of current is in the toaster's circuit.
