Some outdoor security lights are kept on overnight - 7 hours. They use 164 watts of power (figure out how much energy do they consume). If electricity costs $.10 per kilowatt hour, what is the electricity cost for these lights? Please include two decimal places in your answer.
On a particular day, the following appliances are used for the times
indicated: a 1600-W coffee maker, 16 min, and a 1100-W
microwave oven, 3.0 min. With these power requirements, find how
much it costs to use these appliances at an electrical cost of 6 per
kWh. (Do not round your final answer. Fractional cent values are
If you expended 1500 watts for 3 hours, how
many kilowatt-hours (kWh) would that be? Enter
answer as number followed by a space and then
the correct units (i.e "123 Unit").
