Chapter 4, Problem 43P
The electric bill for a family for a month is $120.
- Assuming 30 days in the month, what is the cost per day?
- Based on 15-h days, what is the cost per hour?
- How many kilowatt hours are used per hour if the cost is
- How many 60 W lightbulbs (approximate number) could you have on to use up that much energy per hour?
- Do you believe the cost of electricity is excessive?

Determine the unit of energy if the power is measure in mega watts and the time in minutes.
a.
MW-minutes
b.
MW-hr
c.
KW-min
d.
KW-hr
your electricity bill is calculated as a sum of the fixed monthly cost and a rate per kwh of electricity used. given a usage of 685 kwh with a bill of $166.05 for this month and a usage of 510 kwh with a bill of $125.80 for last month, determine the fixed monthly cost and rate.
