An engineer creates a model to predict the electric consumption of a household in summer in a day with a predictor variable of the number of hours the air-conditioner is running. The electric consumption is only at 23 kWh per day if aircon is not used. If the aircon was used by 1 hr, the electric consumption would increase by an additional 1.84 kWh. Find the average electric consumption if the aircon is used 19 hrs. NOTE: Express your answer with 2 decimal places. Do not put any units/letters.
