The average home uses about 11,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year. Appliances and refrigeration account for about 13% of this total. If electricity costs $0.15 per kWh in a particular area, how much would theaverage nomeowner pay annually to run appliances and refrigeration?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\text{ \$}214.50[/tex]

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the amount incurred by running appliances and refrigeration

Firstly, we need to calculate the KWh used by these activities

This is 13% of the total

Thus, we have that as:

[tex]\frac{13}{100}\times\text{ 11,000 = 1,430 kWh}[/tex]

To get the cost of this, we have to multiply by $0.15

Mathematically, we have that as:

[tex]0.15\text{ }\times\text{ 1430 = \$214.50}[/tex]
