Cost of electricity

Quantity of electricity used in kilowatts

1000 watts = 1 kilowatts

2,500 watts = 2.5 kilowatts

  • Number of hours Val runs AC per day = 7 hours
  • Number of days = 30 days
  • Cost of electricity = $0.18 kilowatts per hour

Cost of Val’s AC to run for a summer month of 30 days = Quantity of electricity used × Number of hours Val runs AC per day × Number of days × Cost of electricity

= 2.5 × 7 × 30 × 0.18

= $94.5
