At home I have a 350W motorized washing machine that I use to wash three times a week, 2 batches of clothes of 22 minutes each each time. Based on this problem, answer the following questions:
a) How much energy in Joules do I "consume" in a year? (use 52 weeks for your calculation)
b) based on the conditions of the previous question, what consumption would you have in kWh?
c) How much do I pay, annually, in dollars, for the use of the washing machine, if the rate for energy from my electric company is 0.17443 / kWh?
