How much does it cost to use a 2.5kW electric fire for 4 hours if electricity costs $7.50 per unit?

$75

Explanation:

The unit of electricity is kilowatt-hour. Considering that 2.5 kW run for 4 hours, the consumption sums up to be 2.5*4=10 kWh. This is the units charged. Since it is given that 1kWh costs $7.5 then to get the the cost of 10kwh is given by cross multiplication ie

1kwh=7.5

10kwh=?

10kwh*$7.5/1kwh=$75

The total cost incurred for using the appliance for 4 hours is equivalent to $75

 $75

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power = 2.5kW

Time  = 4hrs

Cost  = $7.50 per unit

Unknown:

Cost = ?

Solution:

This problem deals with household or industrial power consumption. It is a straight forward problem.

We have been given the rate;

           1kWh of electricity  = $7.50

Energy consumption  = Power x time

                                     = 2.5kW x 4hrs

                                      = 10kWh

        if;

                1kWh  is billed at $7.5

                 10kWh will yield  $75

weather forecasts are done by collecting data about the current state of the atmosphere mainly the temperature, humidity and wind and using meteorology, to determine the atmosphere that evolves over time. the h and l mean the high and low pressure. the red strip is a warm front. the blue strip is a cold front. the blue and red strip is a stationary front. the purple strip is a occluded front.
