Chapter 22.2, Problem 39SSC

To determine

The consumer’s electric bill for $29$ days.

Answer to Problem 39SSC

  $\$333.31$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The energy consumed by the consumer in $29\text{days}$ , $E=3098\text{kWh}$

The cost of the electricity, $C_1=\$0.077592\text{per kWh}$

The cost of the electricity distribution, $C_2=\$0.029998\text{per kWh}$

Calculation:

Then the consumer’s electricity bill for $29\text{days}$ will be,

  $\begin{array}{c}{C}_t=E{C}_1+E{C}_2\\ =3098\left(\$0.077592+\$0.029998\right)\\ =\$333.31\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, the consumer’s electric bill for the $29$ days is $\$333.31$ .
